      A tokamak in France set a new record in fusion plasma by encasing its reaction in tungsten, a heat-resistant metal that allows physicists to sustain hot plasmas for longer, and at higher energies and densities than carbon tokamaks.

      “These are beautiful results,” said Xavier Litaudon, a scientist with CEA and chair of the Coordination on International Challenges on Long duration OPeration (CICLOP), in a PPPL release. “We have reached a stationary regime despite being in a challenging environment due to this tungsten wall.”

      “The tungsten-wall environment is far more challenging than using carbon,” said Luis Delgado-Aparicio, lead scientist for PPPL’s physics research and X-ray detector project, and the laboratory’s head of advanced projects, in the same release. “This is, simply, the difference between trying to grab your kitten at home versus trying to pet the wildest lion.”

      Don’t kill me, but did nobody ever try a tungsten wall before? Honestly it sounds like a very redditish idea and I’m sad it took this long for trials

      I’m in the fusion field. We are making many incremental advances but very few of them are breakthroughs, including this. Don’t fall for the clickbait titles.

      We just need a million more breakthroughs until we can finally have a breakthrough that breaks through the breakthroughs
