The nuclear scientists raised the temperature to 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times hotter than the core of the Sun. Deuterium and tritium fused at this extreme temperature to generate helium and released massive amounts of heat. This is the same process that powers the Sun and generates an enormous quantity of heat. Know about the experiment.

Washington, DC – Today, Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), Chairman of the U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, announced that Tokamak Energy Inc., with
Scientists around the world are attempting to develop viable nuclear fusion reactors in the hopes of creating a clean and virtually limitless energy source.
A company has become the first private entity to hit the blistering temperature required for fusion on earth, many times hotter than the hearts of stars.
New devices may have the ability to generate the high-temperature conditions needed to create plasma and initiate fusion, offering a pathway to fusion power.
Researchers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico are performing a "futuristic experiment" using dozens of plasma guns to harness fusion energy. The plasma guns are [...]
