OpenAI執行長與微軟助Helion
Helion Energy is a company working to make fusion energy a reality.
Helion Energy為一家致力實現核融合的公司。
make sth. a reality實現helion(n.)氦原子核energy(n.)能量
In addition to having Microsoft agree to buy 50 megawatts of electricity from the company by 2028, Helion has also received a huge investment boost from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
除了徵取微軟在2028年以前購滿自家50兆瓦電力的承諾，Helion亦從OpenAI執行長Sam Altman那獲得巨額投資加持，
investment(n.)投資 (in sth.)invest(v.) 投資 (in sth.)
In 2021, he invested $375 million in the fusion energy pioneer.
Altman在2021年便斥資3.75億美元支持這家核融合先鋒公司。
pioneer(n.)拓荒者、先鋒
Fusion is the process used by both the sun and stars to create energy, which involves a reaction that happens when two atoms come together to form a single atom.
核融合就是太陽與星星產生能量的反應過程，反應中兩顆原子相撞變成單一顆原子的反應。
reaction(n.)(物理、化學)反應come together來到一起
The result is a huge amount of energy that Scott Krisiloff, Helion’s chief business officer, says is safer than traditional nuclear (fission) power and produces very little waste, even emitting no carbon.
結果會產生大量能量，Helion業務長Scott Krisiloff說該過程比傳統核能反應還要來得安全，廢料微乎其微，過程甚至零碳排。
fission(n.)分裂emit(v.)發出、噴射
According to Krisiloff, fusion takes up less space to create energy than wind and solar power as well.
根據Krisiloff，核融合產能所需空間大小比風力與太陽能發電還小。

However, in order to fuse the two atoms — one helium-3 atom and one deuterium atom — a lot of heat is needed.
然而，兩原子——一顆氦-3原子與一顆氘原子——的合成過程需要大量的熱能。

Currently, Helion is experimenting with a 40-foot-long tube that can create fusion by reaching 100 million degrees Celsius.
目前，Helion正用一條40英尺長的管子進行實驗，藉該管將溫度提到攝氏一億度進行核融合反應。

Even though the materials and process are both found in nature, it is not easy for energy companies to copy natural fusion reactions.
儘管原料與過程皆可以在自然界中找到，但是。能源公司要重製自然界的核融合反應相當不易。
even though儘管material(n.)原料、材料
However, with Microsoft wanting cleaner energy for their data centers and Altman willing to invest millions in the company, Helion may soon make fusion energy available to the masses.
然而，看在微軟追求使用更為乾淨的電能來為資料中心 供電，加上Altman願意重金投資該公司，Helion不久或許能夠使核融合成為普及大眾的能源形式。
