South Korea Makes Breakthrough in Nuclear Fusion Research: Paving the Way for an "Artificial Sun"

South Korea has achieved a significant milestone in the quest for clean energy, successfully running an "artificial sun" for a record-breaking period. This breakthrough in nuclear fusion research brings us closer to replicating the process that powers stars and holds immense potential for a clean and sustainable energy future.

What is Nuclear Fusion and Why is it Called an "Artificial Sun?"

Nuclear fusion is the process by which atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a tremendous amount of energy. This is the same reaction that powers the sun and other stars. Scientists and engineers have been working for decades to replicate this process on Earth in order to harness its potential as a clean energy source.

The term "artificial sun" is used because a fusion reactor replicates the conditions within a star, where immense heat and pressure cause atomic nuclei to fuse. While not literally a miniature sun, these reactors aim to achieve similar energy production through controlled nuclear fusion.

South Korea's Record-Breaking Achievement

South Korea's Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) reactor recently achieved a sustained plasma temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius (180 million degrees Fahrenheit) for a record-breaking 48 seconds. This scorching temperature is critical for initiating and maintaining nuclear fusion reactions.

A Promising Step Towards Clean Energy

This breakthrough is a significant step forward in the development of nuclear fusion as a viable energy source. While challenges remain in achieving sustained fusion reactions and building commercially viable reactors, South Korea's success demonstrates significant progress in this field.

China's Artificial Sun: Fusion Breakthrough!

China's "Artificial Sun," officially known as the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), has achieved a remarkable breakthrough in nuclear fusion technology. EAST successfully generated a sustained magnetic field, bringing us a significant step closer to achieving practical and sustainable fusion energy. This advancement demonstrates the potential of fusion power to provide a virtually limitless, clean, and safe energy source, potentially revolutionizing global energy production and reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. China's success with EAST highlights the growing momentum and international collaboration in the pursuit of fusion energy, marking a new era in scientific and technological innovation.

finally visited ITER! got the chance to go and see the inside of the fusion reactor!!!! ❤️☀️ i first heard of ITER in 2010 when i presented a paper at a fusion conference in Toki, Japan, then i started including ITER in my energy sources lectures for my masters students in Nice, France — since PH is not a member state, and since i’m a plasma physicist, this experience is definitely a dream come true 😍 ITER is an international nuclear fusion research and engineering megaproject aimed at replicating the fusion processes of the Sun to create energy on earth. Described as the most expensive science experiment of all time, the most complicated engineering project in human history, and one of the most ambitious human collaborations since the development of the ISS and LHC 😉 they expect to ignite the first plasma in 5-6 from now 😳 #amazingadventuresofbeaujethro #iter #cadarache #fusion #fusionenergy #vacuum #vacuumscience #engineering #research #energy #sun #nuclearfusion #filipinoscientist #plasmaphysics #physicist #chemist (at ITER) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWlvEvAstFw/?utm_medium=tumblr

Could breakthrough in fusion ⚡️ be just around the corner? Fusion reactors offer almost unlimited clean pollution free energy by combining isotopes of hydrogen and helium. By harnessing this type of reaction that occurs in the hearts ♥️ of stars ⭐️, energy that is released can be captured to create electricity. . Fusion reactors around the world use either magnetic confinement fusion using tokamaks (bottom left) or inertial confinement fusion using lasers to fuse a small fuel pellet (bottom right). . Currently, fusion is not a viable energy source since more energy is required than released. . However, recent research suggests that a combination of the two methods using plasma guns (instead of lasers) could be used to overcome the Lawson criterion - ie where more energy is produced than lost in fusion. This research carried out at the Los Alamos National Laboratory’s Plasma Linear Experiment hopes to use up to 36 plasma guns by the end of 2020 to achieve a sustainable net energy producing stellar nuclear reaction. .

Lockheed Seeks To Develop A Fusion Reactor Via Patented Technology

Fusion power is a form of power generation in which energy is generated by fusing two lighter atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, thereby releasing energy. To put this in context, teams have been trying to develop a practical fusion reactor for nearly one hundred years.

In addition the proposed Lockheed reactor is reportedly capable of providing sufficient energy to power a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. Lockheed estimates that just 25 pounds of fuel could run the reactor for an entire year and provide a consistent energy output of 100 megawatts for that year.

Generically speaking fusion reactors are safer, cleaner and more powerful than existing fission reactors. However it is likely that Lockheed’s reactor is still in the early stages of development as the US government has apparently not classified the patent.

However we should also note that back in May 2017, the UK’s announced that a development fusion reactor, named ST40, managed to achieve ‘first plasma’ whereby they successfully generated an electrically-charged gas or plasma within its core. The goal for this reactor is to heat plasma up to 100 million degrees Celsius, which is seven times hotter than the centre of the Sun. This would equate to the point where fusion threshold occurs and hydrogen atoms begin to fuse into helium and providing near limitless clean energy in the process.

Furthermore we should also note the vast work that Russia has undertaken in this field for many years and perhaps on that basis we should reflect upon the comments that Medvedev made with regards to the Russian economy.
