Definitions

Verb

fusion - The act or operation of melting or rendering fluid by heat; the act of melting together; as, the fusion of metals.

fusion - The union or blending together of things, as, melted together.
fusion - The union, or binding together, of adjacent parts or tissues.

Noun

fusion - an occurrence that involves the production of a union
fusion - the act of fusing (or melting) together
fusion - a nuclear reaction in which nuclei combine to form more massive nuclei with the simultaneous release of energy
fusion - the merging of adjacent sounds or syllables or words
fusion - correction of an unstable part of the spine by joining two or more vertebrae; usually done surgically but sometimes done by traction or immobilization

Examples of fusion

#   Sentence  
1. noun To a dog, watching T.V. is a lot like watching and old scratchy silent film because their flicker fusion seems to occur at a rate of 70 to 80Hz.
2. noun The physicist was aware of the potential danger of nuclear fusion.
3. noun Jazz fusion is a combination of rock and jazz.
4. noun Everyone coming together is an example of fusion.
5. noun Let me add some words about sentence fusion. A human is given two sentences and asked to produce a single coherent sentence that contains only the important information from the original two. This is a highly constrained summarization task. Investigations — carried out by Hal Daume and Daniel Marcu — has shown "that even at this restricted level, there is no measurable agreement between humans regarding what information should be considered important."
6. noun A brown dwarf is a celestial object, in which fusion occurs, but that is not massive enough to fuse hydrogen.
7. noun A planet is not a star, because it is not massive enough that nuclear fusion can happen in its core.
8. noun A star is a brilliantly glowing sphere of hot gas whose energy is produced by an internal nuclear fusion process.
9. noun In medium size stars, after the nuclear fusion has used up all the fuel it has, gravity will pull the remaining material closer together. The star will shrink. It is then called a "white dwarf".
10. noun In large size stars, nuclear fusion will continue until iron is formed. In stars, iron acts like an energy sponge. It soaks up the star's energy. This energy is eventually released in a big explosion called a supernova.
11. noun Every second, the Sun converts 4 million tons of its material into heat and light through the process of nuclear fusion.
12. noun Nuclear fusion takes place deep in the sun's core at a temperature of about 15 million degrees Celsius. As the heat travels out through the sun's layers, it becomes much cooler, but still hot enough to glow in visible light.
13. noun Another lunar resource of potential development value is helium-3, which can be used for nuclear fusion fuel.
