A step closer to limitless clean energy? Nuclear fusion reactor breaks record after hitting 100 MILLION degrees for almost 50 seconds - seven times hotter than the sun's core

Daily Mail  

If we want to rely on nuclear fusion to power the world's homes, the first step is making reactors that can run as hot and as long as possible. Nuclear fusion reactors around the world are in a race to operate at higher temperatures and for longer, to extract as much energy from the fusion process as possible. Rival China's …

Nuclear fusion breakthrough: 'Holy grail' of power production is closer to reality

Daily Mail  

For years, nuclear scientists have tried to replicate the fusion process that takes place in billions of stars to create clean power on Earth. The spherical tokamak uses a powerful magnetic field to confine hydrogen isotopes into a spherical shape, similar to a cored apple, as they are heated by microwaves into a plasma to produce fusion - and clean …
