Germany Sets Nuclear Fusion Record with Breakthrough Stellarator Experiment
Germany sees the Wendelstein 7-X reactor achieve a nuclear fusion record. Credit: Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik, Tino Schulz / CC BY-SA 3.0 A breakthrough experiment at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics has set a new benchmark in fusion energy research, with Germany establishing a nuclear fusion record that surpasses earlier global achievements. The Wendelstein 7-X stellarator, located in the northern city of Greifswald, has off…
Nuclear fusion record smashed as German scientists take 'a significant step forward' to near-limitless clean energy
Germany's Wendelstein 7-X stellarator has set a new benchmark for fusion reactors, bringing commercial, near-limitless clean energy one step closer to reality.
The quest to control nuclear fusion, this almost unlimited, long-term, clean energy source without radioactive waste, has just reached a major milestone. The Wendelstein 7-X stellarator, an experimental reactor installed in Germany, has pulverized several world records by demonstrating its ability to maintain ultra-hot and stable plasma for longer than [...]
Nuclear fusion is traded as the energy source of the future. However, it is completely unclear which type of reactor will ultimately run the race. Although laser fusion has achieved ignition of the fusion plasma, it is only able to implement tiny quantities of fuel simultaneously. The so-called magnetic inclusion reactors according to the Tokamak principle, which also includes the large reactor ITER, are able to heat large plasma quantities and …
