Wendelstein 7-X Achieves Fusion Milestone with Record-Breaking Triple Product![]() ![]() Berlin, Germany (SPX) Jun 04, 2025 In a significant advance for nuclear fusion research, the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) stellarator at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics has achieved a new world record for the triple product during extended plasma operation. This milestone, reached in the OP 2.3 campaign, demonstrates stellarators' potential to meet the requirements of a future fusion power plant. On May 22, researchers sustained a record-high triple product value for 43 seconds, outperforming previous long-pulse benchmarks for fusi ... read more |
