Solving the mystery that could help fusion reactors survive decades of use

Fusion Experiment Demonstrates Cheaper Stellerator Using Creative Magnet Workaround

Scientists have found adding a common household cleaning agent – the mineral boron contained in such cleaners as Borax – can vastly improve the ability of some fusion energy devices to contain the heat required to produce fusion reactions on Earth the way the sun and stars do.

According to a new paper, the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator in Germany is now capable of containing heat that reaches temperatures twice as high as those found in the core of the Sun
