A fusion reactor in southern France achieved a significant milestone toward clean, limitless energy. The fusion reactor, WEST, created a super-hot plasma and sustained it for a record-breaking 6 minutes. The experiment is laying the groundwork for a larger fusion reactor called ITER. Fusion energy offers the potential for nearly limitless clean energy production, surpassing current fossil fuel capabilities significantly. While WEST's recent breakthrough won't immediately power homes, it plays a crucial role in advancing fusion research for future energy solutions. The fusion reactor's utilization of tungsten and its implications in plasma sustainment mark a significant step in fusion energy advancements.
