This breakthrough holds significant implications for nuclear fusion research, as it aims to replicate the process responsible for the energy generation in stars like the Sun.
Scientists in South Korea have announced a new world record for the length of time they sustained temperatures of 180 million degrees Fahrenheit \u2014 seven times hotter than the sun's core \u2014 during a nuclear fusion experiment.
The experimental fusion reactor sustained temperatures of 180 million degrees Fahrenheit for a record-breaking 48 seconds.
The purpose of this fusion is to recreate the nuclear reaction that makes it possible for the Sun and other stars to shine.
This temperature is seven times that of the Sun's core, which is 15 million degrees Celsius.
