"Fusion Breakthrough: New World Record Set for Energy Generation"
TL;DR
Scientists in Britain have broken the record for generating fusion energy using the Joint European Torus (JET) machines, producing 69 megajoules for five seconds with 0.2 milligrams of fuel, enough to power 41,000 homes. The achievement could pave the way for a clean, safe, and abundant energy source to combat climate change. The JET facility's research findings have implications for global fusion projects, including ITER, and could lead to a prototype fusion power plant by 2050.
