Nuclear Fusion World Record Smashed in Major Achievement
Scientists in Britain announced Thursday they had smashed a record for generating fusion energy in the final experiment using the Joint European Torus (JET) machines.
Scientists in Britain announced Thursday they had smashed a record for generating fusion energy in the final experiment using the Joint European Torus (JET) machines. Inside JET's tokamak, 0.1 milligrammes each of deuterium and tritium – both isotopes of hydrogen – were heated to temperatures 10 times hotter than the centre of the sun to create plasma. The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the United States became the only facility to achieve this feat – the holy grail of nuclear fusion – in late 2022, using a different process involving lasers.
