The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory has set a new world record by sustaining a fusion plasma at 90 million degrees Fahrenheit for six minutes.

This achievement marks a significant advance towards maintaining super-hot plasma for extended periods, a key goal in nuclear fusion research.

The successful use of tungsten as a wall material in the fusion reactor is notable for its ability to withstand extreme temperatures without absorbing fusion fuel.

Further studies are underway to understand tungsten's interaction with plasma and refine the fusion system.

Findings from the experiment are expected to be published in a peer-reviewed journal soon, indicating scientific validation of the results.

This breakthrough is crucial for developing real-time plasma analysis and control, and it edges closer to the long-term objective of commercial fusion energy.
