D AILY INNOVATION BRIEF By Journalists Edward Kane & Maryanne Kane NUCLEAR FUSION BREAKTHRU - HOTTER THAN SUN Source: Stock & Tokamak Energy Nuclear fusion, considered the Holy Grail of energy production, is closer to reality A nuclear fusion reactor was heated to 100 million degrees Celsius, which is hotter than the Sun, and reached the "magic figure" for nuclear fusion It just happened in the United Kingdom at Tokamak Energy using a compact, "spherical tokamak" reactor called ST40 Nuclear fusion reactors mimic the energy producing process of stars like the Sun The 100-million-degree threshold is where hydrogen atoms begin to fuse into helium and release sustainable energy that could eliminate the need for fossil fuels Tokamak is developing a nuclear fusion reactor to connect with
