Is this that?
In physics and nuclear chemistry, nuclear fusion is the process by which multiple atomic particles join together to form a heavier nucleus. It is accompanied by the release or absorption of energy. Research into fusion for military purposes began in the early 1940s, as part of the Manhattan Project, but was not successful until 1952.
When the fusion reaction is a sustained uncontrolled chain, it can result in a thermonuclear explosion, such as that generated by a hydrogen bomb.
Iranian News Agency FARS:
