"Korean Fusion Reactor Achieves 100 Million Degrees for 100 Seconds, Breaks Record"
South Korean scientists have achieved a new world record by generating plasma temperatures of 100 million degrees Celsius for 48 seconds using the KSTAR nuclear fusion reactor, a significant advancement in fusion energy technology. Despite the breakthrough, commercialization of fusion energy is still a distant goal, but researchers remain optimistic. Other tokamak reactors worldwide have also achieved notable milestones, and the completion of the ITER facility in France next year may provide further insights into the potential of fusion energy as a viable power source.
