A fusion involves the passage of a body from a solid state to a liquid state.
Originating in the Latin fusĭo , the concept of fusion allows us to describe the act or consequence of melting or fusing (that is, melting and liquefying various solid bodies, such as metals, and ensuring that only one remains of two or more things). .
According to the theory, the physical procedure that involves a change of state in a matter that goes from solid to liquid is known as fusion. When matter is heated in a solid state, energy is transferred to the atoms, which begin to vibrate more rapidly. It could be said that fusion and casting refer to the same procedure, although the second concept is reserved for metals and crystalline solids that liquefy at high temperatures.
Heat of fusion, melting point and nuclear fusion
It should also be noted that the heat of fusion is the heat that is absorbed by the matter during its modification without a change in temperature being noticed. On the other hand, the melting point is the temperature at which a solid transforms into a liquid.
The so-called nuclear fusion is a reaction that takes place when a pair of light nuclei join together, which generate a heavier nucleus (with more atomic mass ) and a higher level of energy release.
Union of ideas or interests
In another sense, fusion is a union of interests, ideas or parties . In the field of business, a merger occurs when two or more companies pool their assets to form a new company.
Mergers can also occur between political parties, clubs or other organizations .
Fusion cuisine combines styles from different traditions.
Fusion in gastronomy
Another sector where the fusion concept is used is in the kitchen. Specifically, it is used to refer to the mixture of culinary styles that come from different cultures and that are also defined by the well-known union of very diverse species.
Thus, for example, we can talk about Tex-Mex gastronomy, which is the result of the combination of Texan and Mexican cuisine, and which has among its main dishes nachos, tortilla chips or hot sauce.
The term in music
In music , fusion is the subgenre that combines various styles and rhythms . For example: jazz fusion .
In this sense, we cannot miss the opportunity to mention that in this artistic field there is also rock fusion , which is a mixture of punk , hard rock, rap, metal and of course rock. Among the most important groups that carry it out are the legendary Red Hot Chili Peppers or the Californian band Faith No More .
And there is also Latin American fusion , which is another musical genre that combines classical music, jazz and rock.
Fusion of bodies
Finally, we must not forget that it is very common for the term in question to be used in the field of literature, and more specifically poetry.
In this artistic field and when talking about two lovers, the expression "fusion of their bodies" is used to show that a couple has maintained physical and sexual contact as a way of getting even closer, not only on a physical level but also from a sentimental point of view.
