At 2, we look at how we are getting closer to nuclear fusion energy, one step at a time.
available to us. At its core, the Sun is a nuclear reactor that combines hydrogen atoms to create helium and tremendous amounts of energy. At 15 million degrees Celsius, the core of the Sun provides the right environment where matter turns into plasma and hydrogen atoms fuse into helium.
to worry about. However, the high-temperature plasma created inside nuclear fusion reactors needs to be contained so that it does not damage the chambers of the reactors.. Check back to discover more about groundbreaking AI, unique solar panels, new 3D printing methods and much more. Nuclear scientists have attempted to use magnetic fields to develop a sharp cutoff in pressure near the reactor wall. Called the edge transport barrier , this prevents the heat and plasma from touching the reactor wall.
An alternate method is called the internal transport barrier , where higher pressure is created near the center of the plasma. The researchers at SNU used a modification of this method to create a lower plasma density and boosted the plasma's core temperature to over 100 million degrees, a record in itself.Before this attempt, both ETB and ITB were known to be unstable.
