Lock the plasma in, share the physics data, light a brand new sun!
007skaty China operates the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak nuclear fusion reactor.
007skaty Superconducting magnets cooled to -269 degrees Celsius stand centimeters away from the reactor's 100 million degree plasma.
007skaty Blazing pink and orange plasma swirls inside the donut-shaped EAST fusion reactor.
007skaty Place global tokamaks on the world map to discover how nations build artificial suns.
Chilled magnets: South Korea's KSTAR maintains a temperature difference of over 100 million degrees between its super-cold magnets and its super-hot plasma.
A toroidal device that uses a powerful magnetic field to confine hot plasma for nuclear fusion. The largest tokamak ever built, ITER, is under construction in southern France through an international partnership.
Where is the massive international fusion project ITER currently being constructed?
What temperature must superconducting magnets in reactors like KSTAR be cooled to?
