China overtakes Germany to make nuclear fusion breakthrough | Daily Mail Online
'Chinese engineers have managed to create hydrogen gas that is three times hotter than the sun.
The team were able to maintain 50 million°C for 102 seconds – a breakthrough that could someday make fusion power a reality.
It follows news last week that Germany used 2 megawatts of microwave radiation to heat hydrogen gas to 80 million°C for a quarter of a second.
Fusion works by using two kinds of hydrogen atoms — deuterium and tritium — and injecting that gas into a containment vessel.
Scientist then add energy that removes the electrons from their host atoms, forming what is described as an ion plasma, which releases huge amounts of energy.
If the technique is perfected, it would provide an inexhaustible source of power and potentially solve the world's energy crisis.'
