Korean Scientists Closer To Fusion?

Korean scientists are one step further in reaching sustainable fusion reactors. In an experiment for the National Fusion Research Institute, scientists were able to achieve a form of supercharged plasma for 249 milliseconds, almost two and a half times longer than they had anticipated. It’s a new form of plasma that can be used to generate electricity in a manner similar to conventional nuclear plants but with far less radioactive waste. We think that’s cool. So do bears.

    Is it just me, or is that thing highly remeniscent of the large scale Arc Reactor from Iron Man?
