A biological molecular machine that consumes energy in one form and converts it into motion or mechanical work; for example, many protein-based molecular motors harness the chemical-free power released by the hydrolysis of ATP to perform mechanical action.
Atomic energy is a term used to describe the constitutive internal power of the atom, which was absorbed when formed.
Nuclear fusion reactors is a term used to describe a future source of energy. Most stars including our own Sun released energy by nuclear reactions between light atoms at temperatures of millions of degrees.
