“…The Sun, made up of helium gas and hydrogen, makes this energy in its core through fusion (Kalogirou, 2013;. Fusion involves hydrogen isotopes, and with the transformation of matter, it comes together to form helium atoms, and this transformed matter is given off as radiant energy by the Sun (Okutsu et al, 2021;Kenjo et al, 2022). Radiant energy emitted from the Sun reaches the Earth surface in tiny portions, approximately 1.7 × 1018 W, and these rations are enough to supply the energy needed on Earth (Sisay, 2022).…”

Frontiers is more than just an open access publisher of scholarly articles: it is a pioneering approach to the world of academia, radically improving the way scholarly research is managed. The grand vision of Frontiers is a world where all people have an equal opportunity to seek, share and generate knowledge. Frontiers provides immediate and permanent online open access to all its publications, but this alone is not enough to realize our grand goals. Frontiers journal seriesThe Frontiers journal series is a multi-tier and interdisciplinary set of openaccess, online journals, promising a paradigm shift from the current review, selection and dissemination processes in academic publishing. All Frontiers journals are driven by researchers for researchers; therefore, they constitute a service to the scholarly community. At the same time, the Frontiers journal series operates on a revolutionary invention, the tiered publishing system, initially addressing specific communities of scholars, and gradually climbing up to broader public understanding, thus serving the interests of the lay society, too. Dedication to qualityEach Frontiers article is a landmark of the highest quality, thanks to genuinely collaborative interactions between authors and review editors, who include some of the world's best academicians. Research must be certified by peers before entering a stream of knowledge that may eventually reach the public -and shape society; therefore, Frontiers only applies the most rigorous and unbiased reviews. Frontiers revolutionizes research publishing by freely delivering the most outstanding research, evaluated with no bias from both the academic and social point of view. By applying the most advanced information technologies, Frontiers is catapulting scholarly publishing into a new generation. What are Frontiers Research Topics?Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers journals series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area.

Fossil fuels are now used to meet over 80% of the world’s energy demands, but they have the disadvantages of being unsustainable economically and polluting the environment. Solar energy is also one of the most desired alternative forms of renewable energy due to the quantity of direct sunlight among these sources. Due to the difficulties with solar cells, less than 1% of this energy is harvested and transformed into electricity. Notably, solar thermal and photovoltaic systems are the traditional methods for converting solar energy into electricity. It can be challenging to turn the solar energy captured by these systems into power. In contrast to conventional conversion methods, which involve converting solar energy directly into electricity, this article conducts a thorough investigation of solar thermophotovoltaic devices and the high-tech materials used in solar thermophotovoltaic systems as a solution to the conversion challenges.

“…The released after the fusion would have 10 keV kinetic energy on average and would be utilized by muon beam cooling 51 which can be applicable to negative muon microscope and injection source of muon collider 52 exploring beyond standard model of particle physics. The exact energy distribution of the released muon after the fusion was recently calculated 53 , while experiments for observation of these muons using the high-intensity pulsed muon beam are in progress 54 – 56 .…”

Muon catalyzed fusion ($$\mu$$ μ CF) in which an elementary particle, muon, facilitates the nuclear fusion between the hydrogen isotopes has been investigated in a long history. In contrast to the rich theoretical and experimental information on the $$\mu$$ μ CF in cold targets, there is relatively scarce information on the high temperature gas targets of deuterium-tritium mixture with high-thermal efficiency. We demonstrate new kinetics model of $$\mu$$ μ CF including three roles of resonant muonic molecules, (i) changing isotopic population, (ii) producing epi-thermal muonic atoms, and (iii) inducing fusion in-flight. The new kinetics model reproduces experimental observations, showing higher cycle rate as the temperature increasing, over a wide range of target temperatures ($$T<800$$ T < 800 K) and tritium concentrations. Moreover, it can be tested by measurements of radiative dissociation X-rays around 2 keV. High energy-resolution X-ray detectors and intense muon beam which are recently available are suitable to reveal these dynamical mechanism of $$\mu$$ μ CF cycles. Towards the future $$\mu$$ μ CF experiments in the high-temperature gas target we have clarified the relationship between the fusion yield and density-temperature curve of adiabatic/shock-wave compression.
