What are the Challenges of Using Catalysis in Nuclear Fusion?
While the concept of catalysis in nuclear fusion is promising, several challenges exist: - Muon Production and Longevity: Producing muons requires a lot of energy, and muons have a very short lifespan. - Recycling Muons: Efficiently recycling muons to catalyze multiple reactions is still a significant hurdle. - Energy Balance: Current methods often consume more energy to produce muons than the energy yielded from fusion reactions.
