In a groundbreaking experiment, the Wendelstein 7-X fusion device at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Germany has established a new world record in the "triple product." This remarkable achievement saw the device successfully maintain peak levels for an impressive 43 seconds. The experiment leveraged an innovative particle injection technique, resulting in a plasma temperature surpassing 20 million degrees Celsius. This not only elevated the single-shot discharge energy to 1.8 gigajoules but also attained a pressure-to-magnetic field pressure ratio of 3%. These extraordinary accomplishments underscore the immense potential of Wendelstein 7-X in the realm of stable and controlled nuclear fusion, firmly establishing a cornerstone for the future realization of commercial fusion power stations.
