Wendelstein 7-X sets a triple product record for long-duration plasmas
node
Wendelstein 7-X reported a world record triple product for long plasma discharges, sustained for 43 seconds, exceeding previous long-duration values held by tokamaks. The same campaign reported an energy turnover of 1.8 gigajoules over a 360-second discharge and plasma pressure reaching 3% of magnetic pressure across the full plasma volume for the first time. The device runs on hydrogen and helium, so this is a confinement-quality result and not a fusion energy result.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
