Michael Tendler
Michael Tendler (russian: Михаил Борисович Тендлер; born 1947) is a Swedish Physicist, currently (Emeritus) Professor of Nuclear fusion, Fusion Plasma (physics), Plasma Physics at the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm (KTH). He is the Invited Professor at the Plasma Physics Laboratory Princeton University, USA and the Chubu University, Japan. Education He was educated at Leningrad State University and graduated in Theoretical Physics in 1971 under the supervision of Academician . He left the Soviet Union in 1975 and received his doctorate from Uppsala University in 1978 under the supervision of Erik T. Karlsson. Career Tendler moved to the Alfven Laboratory of the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) as an associate professor in 1981 and gradually shifted his interest towards Fusion research. From 1992 until 2002 he was an invited professor at the Institut national de la recherche scientifique, Université du Québec, Canada. He became Full Profes ...

Nuclear Fusion
Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei are combined to form one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles ( neutrons or protons). The difference in mass between the reactants and products is manifested as either the release or absorption of energy. This difference in mass arises due to the difference in nuclear binding energy between the atomic nuclei before and after the reaction. Nuclear fusion is the process that powers active or main-sequence stars and other high-magnitude stars, where large amounts of energy are released. A nuclear fusion process that produces atomic nuclei lighter than iron-56 or nickel-62 will generally release energy. These elements have a relatively small mass and a relatively large binding energy per nucleon. Fusion of nuclei lighter than these releases energy (an exothermic process), while the fusion of heavier nuclei results in energy retained by the product nucleons, and the resulting reaction is endo ...
