Artificial Sun | 06 Apr 2024
Recently, a new world record was announced by scientists in South Korea in sustaining temperatures of 100 million degrees Celsius for 48 seconds in plasma state, in a nuclear fusion experiment. This is seven times hotter than the core of the sun.
- This accomplishment marks a significant milestone for harnessing clean energy from nuclear fusion, as it demonstrates the potential for producing massive heat energy comparable to the core of the Sun.
- Tokamak (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER)) is a collaboration of 35 nations launched in 1985 with India being a member. It is located in France.
- It seeks to demonstrate nuclear fusion's potential as a large-scale and carbon-free energy source.
