Record-Breaking Spherical Tokamak Promises A Fusion Revolution
<p>A <a href="https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1741-4326/acbec8" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">recent study</a> found that the ST40, a spherical tokamak fusion reactor, reached the astronomical temperatures of 100 million degrees Kelvin. That is 6.7 times hotter than the core of the Sun! This insane temperature is enough to create fusion ignition, which can potentially create commercially viable fusion power! But what the hell is ignition, or a spherical fusion reactor for that matter? And does this mean we are on the cusp of unlocking this utopian energy source?</p>
<p>Let’s start at the beginning. What is fusion? And why is it the ultimate clean energy source?</p>
