‘Stellarator’ is a success! Physicists at Max Planck Institute of Plasma Physics in Germany, just announced that they’ve fired up with success, one of the world’s largest nuclear fusion machines, able to contain super-hot blobs of helium gas, or plasma.
It reached a temperature of 1 million°C and lasted for a tenth of a second
The Max Planck Institute of Plasma Physics is working in ‘the research for the energy of tomorrow,’ to bring the solar fire on the earth.
