France sets new plasma record in hunt for nuclear fusion
Paris (AFP) Feb 18, 2025 French scientists on Tuesday announced that they had reached a "crucial milestone" in the long road towards nuclear fusion by managing to maintain raging-hot plasma for a record 22 minutes. Nuclear fusion has the much-vaunted potential to provide the world with clean, safe and nearly inexhaustible energy - but the scientific holy grail has remained stubbornly elusive over decades. The idea is to recreate the process that occurs at the heart of stars by fusing two atomic nuclei. This would be th ... read more |
