  1. Boron 11

    Linked via "aneutronic fusion"

    Interaction in Plasma Regimes
    The $p-{}^{11}\text{B}$ fusion reaction, where a proton fuses with a Boron-11 nucleus, is a significant area of research for aneutronic fusion reactors. The primary reaction pathway yields three alpha particles:
    $$p + {}^{11}\text{B} \rightarrow 3 {}^{4}\text{He} + \text{Energy}$$
  2. Helium 3

    Linked via "aneutronic fusion reactions"

    Cosmological and Extraction Significance
    Due to its presence in lunar surface material and its continuous injection by solar wind, $^3\text{He}$ is considered a high-value resource for potential extraterrestrial energy applications, specifically in aneutronic fusion reactions.
