Fusion vs. Vaporization — What's the Difference?

The act or procedure of liquefying or melting by the application of heat.

Vaporization (or vaporisation) of an element or compound is a phase transition from the liquid phase to vapor. There are two types of vaporization: evaporation and boiling.

The liquid or melted state induced by heat.

To convert or be converted into vapor.

The merging of different elements into a union

A conversion of a solid or a liquid into a gas.

A union resulting from fusing

A destruction of something by turning it into vapor.

(Physics) A nuclear reaction in which atomic nuclei combine to form more massive nuclei with the simultaneous release of energy.

The act or process of vaporizing, or the state of being converted into vapor; the artificial formation of vapor; specifically, the conversion of water into steam, as in a steam boiler.

Music that blends jazz elements and the heavy repetitive rhythms of rock. Also called jazz-fusion, jazz-rock.

Annihilation by vaporizing something

A style of cooking that combines ingredients and techniques from very different cultures or countries.

The process of becoming a vapor

The act of merging separate elements, or the result thereof.

(physics) A nuclear reaction in which nuclei combine to form more massive nuclei with the concomitant release of energy. Category:en:Nuclear physics

(music) A style of music that blends disparate genres; especially different types of jazz and reggae.

A style of cooking that combines ingredients and techniques from different countries or cultures

The act of melting or liquefying something by heating it.

(genetics) The result of the hybridation of two genes which originally coded for separate proteins.

(cytology) The process by which two distinct lipid bilayers merge their hydrophobic core, resulting in one interconnected structure.

(fiction) The act of two characters merging into one, typically more powerful, being; or the merged being itself.

(nonstandard) to combine; to fuse

The act or operation of melting or rendering fluid by heat; the act of melting together; as, the fusion of metals.

The state of being melted or dissolved by heat; a state of fluidity or flowing in consequence of heat; as, metals in fusion.

The union or blending together of things, as, melted together.

The union, or binding together, of adjacent parts or tissues.

An occurrence that involves the production of a union

A nuclear reaction in which nuclei combine to form more massive nuclei with the simultaneous release of energy

The state of being combined into one body

The merging of adjacent sounds or syllables or words

The combining of images from the two eyes to form a single visual percept

Correction of an unstable part of the spine by joining two or more vertebrae; usually done surgically but sometimes done by traction or immobilization

The act of fusing (or melting) together
