Wissenschaftler sind jetzt 43 Sekunden näher an der Herstellung von unbegrenzter Energie – ein verdrehter Reaktor in Deutschland hat gerade einen nuklearen Fusionsrekord zerschlagen.

From the article
In a recent experiment, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics sustained a stable plasma reaction in the Wendelstein 7-X for 43 seconds, reaching the “[triple product](https://usfusionenergy.org/science-fusion)” performance level that’s required for viable nuclear fusion and achieving the all-time best results for any stellarator.
Maybe 43 seconds doesn’t sound like much, but it’s now the longest plasma duration *ever* in nuclear fusion, including tokamaks. Previously, the now-defunct JT60U Tokamak in Japan and the JET European Tokamak in the U.K—which boasted triple the plasma volume—held the records for plasma duration.
What stocks can I look at to possibly invest in for fusion?
What about the EAST project in China – Maybe that’s not the same thing?
Every 43 seconds we are 43 seconds closer to „insert energy milestone here“
Might have sounded like a cool title but it’s kinda stupid unless you know sustaining a reaction for 43 seconds is impressive
Hmm google says previous record is 1337 seconds on February 12 2025

This is a very bad article for laymen with numerous errors and oversimplifications.
I eagerly await the day when I get to begin paying a monthly subscription for this unlimited energy.
It’s funny it comes from Germany. I thought we were stoked to get by with wind and sun…in Germany.
I’ve been following this story with bated breath…since 1951. Any day now!
I’m gonna get ahead of this and say RIP to those scientists who tried to cut into the bottom line
– signed Shell, BP, Exxon, Chevron, Saudi Aramco
If it’s just 43 seconds, why can’t they just wait for that time and announce that they have achieved limitless energy?
That’s huge! 43 seconds of plasma—fusion energy is getting real. Clean, endless power might not be far off!
