KOREA’S ARTIFICIAL SUN BROKE A RECORD, BLAZING HOTTER THAN THE CORE OF THE REAL SUN
KOREA’S ARTIFICIAL SUN BROKE A RECORD, BLAZING HOTTER THAN THE CORE OF THE REAL SUN
If our species does flee into the colder reaches of space by then, we might be able to keep from freezing to death. Korea has done the seemingly impossible by running its artificial sun nuclear fusion reactor, Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) at a scorching 212 million degrees Fahrenheit for 20 seconds. That is the same temperature as the core of the Sun—its hottest part. Maybe 20 seconds doesn’t seem like much, but for a technology we're just starting to get a grip on, this is huge.
Nuclear fusion also occurs in the innards of stars like our Sun. Those giant balls of plasma rely on this reaction to fuse hydrogen atoms into helium, releasing energy in gargantuan amounts. Stars that have fused all their hydrogen into helium burn out.
