Nuclear fusion enthusiasts know the struggle! Trying to fuse two deuterium atoms is like trying to push two magnets together—they resist until you apply ridiculous amounts of energy. Meanwhile, deuterium + tritium is the power couple of fusion reactions, requiring temperatures of "only" 100 million degrees instead of the billion+ for deuterium-deuterium fusion. It's basically the cheat code of nuclear physics. The sun gets away with D-D fusion because it has the mass of 333,000 Earths squeezing those atoms together. Talk about performance pressure!
Deuterium + Tritium Got Some Serious Heat Though
