Hydrogen and oxygen. On the sun two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom are fused at the core which keeps the suns light going and giving it more energy. The result of this is water. H2( hydrogen 2 ) O( oxygen ) h2o

In this analogy, the heads of the pennies could represent stable nuclei, while the tails could represent radioactive nuclei. Stable nuclei do not undergo spontaneous decay, while radioactive nuclei have the potential to decay and emit radiation over time.
Light nuclei, such as hydrogen isotopes like deuterium and tritium, cause energy to be absorbed during nuclear fusion. When these nuclei combine to form heavier elements, such as helium, the process releases a significant amount of energy.
You would look for high-energy electromagnetic radiation like gamma rays emitted from the star. This type of radiation is produced during nuclear fusion reactions when light atomic nuclei combine to form heavier nuclei and release energy. Detection of gamma rays can provide evidence that nuclear fusion is taking place in the core of a star.
With nuclear fission, a large atomic nucleus (such as a uranium nucleus) breaks apart into smaller nuclei, and energy is released. With nuclear fusion, small atomic nuclei (such as hydrogen) join to become larger nuclei, and energy is released. Fusion of hydrogen releases much more energy than any other type of either fusion or fission. Note that the dividing line between heavy nuclei and light nuclei is the iron nucleus, which is at the perfect point of nuclear stability, so that neither fusion nor fission of iron nuclei would release any energy.
This would be a fusion of three helium nuclei. This would happen towards the end of a star's life, it's not occurring in the sun at present, but obviously has happened in various stars in the past, which is why we have the heavy elements in our solar system
Combining nuclei of atoms to produce energy is called nuclear fusion. This process releases a large amount of energy and is the same process that powers the sun and other stars.

The opposite of fission is fusion, which is the process of combining atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, releasing large amounts of energy in the process. Fusion is the process that powers the sun and other stars.

Because if the nuclei touches any thing it would fuse with it or destroy it. Making it undetectable and not available for reaction.
It would very likely explode, but if you are lucky it will fizz and burn a hole in the beaker. But, do NOT ever combine colored fusion and still fusion into a beaker. The results will always be dangerous.
Solar fusion is the process by which the Sun produces energy. Hydrogen atoms in the Sun's core fuse together to form helium, releasing energy in the form of light and heat. This process is sustained by the immense pressure and temperature at the Sun's core, which allows for nuclear fusion to occur.
