Also, when the high temperature was achieved, the Z machine was releasing more energy than was originally put in, something that usually occurs only in nuclear reactions.

而且当达到高温时，“Z”机组还释放出比原先的输入能量还多的能量，这种情况一般只出现在核反应。

The 5,800-processor, 3.9 teraflop system (with 2.6 trillion bytes of memory) was built in partnership with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to simulate the physics involved in nuclear reactions.

这个拥有5,800个处理器、3.9 teraflop运算能力的系统(有2.6万亿字节的内存)是与Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory合作构建的，为的是模拟核反应的物理过程。

Nuclear reactors work in a similar way to other power plants, but instead of using coal or gas to generate heat, they use nuclear fission reactions.

核反应堆的工作原理和其他的发电站很相似，不过它们并不是使用煤炭或煤气来生成热量，而是利用核裂变反应。

Einstein's formula reveals the energy in nuclear reactions that convert matter into pure energy--something physically impossible with chemical reactions.

FORBES: Yellowcake Fever

Sterile neutrinos differ from ordinary neutrinos (electrically neutral particles produced in abundance by the nuclear reactions that power the sun) because ordinary neutrinos feel the weak nuclear force, while sterile ones do not.

ECONOMIST: Research from the beginning of time

One explanation for the solar-neutrino deficit (only a third of the predicted number have been detected) is that electron-neutrinos produced by nuclear-fusion reactions in the sun's core mutate into the other two types, which are harder to detect.

ECONOMIST: The news that neutrinos have mass is both good and bad
