‘Artificial sun’ sets record for time at 100 million degrees in latest advance for nuclear fusion

Korea's fusion reactor set a new record by sustaining plasma at 100 million degrees Celsius for 48 seconds.
Researchers aim to sustain plasma at this temperature for 300 seconds by 2026, using tungsten divertors instead of carbon.
Achieving high temperatures for long durations is crucial for the future of fusion reactors, according to KSTAR Research Center director Si-Woo Yoon.

Korean Fusion Reactor 'Artificial Sun' Sets Record For Sustaining Plasma At 100 Million Degree Celsius

South Korean scientists have set a new world record using the Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) device, an "artificial Sun" nuclear fusion reactor. According to CNN, The team generated plasma temperatures of 100 million degrees Celsius for 48 seconds during tests between December 2023 and February 2024. This temperature is seven times that of the Sun's core, which is 15 million degrees Celsius. The facility's previous reco…
