Cold Fusion Breakthrough 2024. Ions inside a compact fusion reactor barely a meter (less than 3 feet) across have been heated to the magic figure of 100 million degrees celsius (some 180 million degrees fahrenheit) for the first time in a monumental step. Kstar, kfe’s fusion research device which it refers to as an “artificial sun,” managed to sustain plasma with temperatures of 100 million degrees for 48 seconds during.
Llnl’s experiment surpassed the fusion threshold by delivering 2.05 megajoules (mj) of energy to the target, resulting in 3.15 mj of fusion energy output, demonstrating for the first time a. Ions inside a compact fusion reactor barely a meter (less than 3 feet) across have been heated to the magic figure of 100 million degrees celsius (some 180 million degrees fahrenheit) for the first time in a monumental step.
