The South Korean artificial sun, which goes by the name KSTAR (Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research), has made an important scientific discovery concerning nuclear fusion by being able to sustain plasma in high-confinement mode for a period of 102 seconds while simultaneously managing to keep plasma temperature at 100 million degrees centigrade for 48 seconds. This development by the Korea Institute of Fusion Energy (KFE) is another move towards achieving clean fusion energy, whose ability to generate unlimited amounts of electricity with little to no carbon emission is promising.

    Just because you can capture it doesn’t mean it’s useful or beneficial.

    Not much science could be done with a constantly spinning satellite. And spinning stuff in space does some weird shit, we already know this.

      Virtually all of science has been performed on a constantly spinning satellite.

            My god are you twelve? Using someone’s random Lemmy server address as an insult. I’m sure you know what people think of yours… but it makes no difference to here. Again the context eh?

            Fucking lol.

                No, I just can’t believe people like you haven’t been banned off this place yet. You’re exhausting. And looking at your comment count, there’s no way you can be making any conversations in good faith.

                You’re just an absolutely pathetic troll, you make the other ones look decent.
