In order to recreate the process of energy production that takes place in the Sun, scientists use **hydrogen gas and add heat and pressure**.

In the Sun, hydrogen nuclei fuse together under extreme temperature and pressure to form helium, releasing energy in the process. To simulate this fusion reaction in laboratory settings, researchers must replicate these conditions by using hydrogen gas, applying high temperatures, and creating significant pressure.
