In a major breakthrough for energy science, researchers in Canada have achieved a record-setting output in nuclear fusion, generating 600 million neutrons per second during a controlled reaction. This milestone was accomplished using advanced fusion reactor technology designed to replicate the processes that power the sun—where light atomic nuclei fuse to form heavier ones, releasing vast amounts of energy in the process. Unlike fission, which splits atoms and produces long-lived radioactive waste, fusion uses elements like hydrogen isotopes and creates minimal byproducts. The Canadian team, using a small spherical tokamak system, demonstrated that high neutron generation is possible in compact and efficient setups, without relying on enormous reactor infrastructure. This not only proves that fusion is viable on a smaller scale, but also confirms significant steps toward sustained, net-positive fusion reactions. The generation of 600 million neutrons per second is significant because neutrons are direct indicators of fusion activity. While this doesn’t yet equate to continuous power output, it's a crucial step in achieving energy breakeven—where more energy is produced than consumed. With further refinement, such developments could one day lead to power plants that generate nearly limitless electricity from just a few grams of fuel. Canada’s achievement adds momentum to global fusion research, signaling that a clean, safe, and sustainable energy future may be closer than previously imagined. It’s not science fiction anymore—it's science, advancing with every neutron. ⚛️🔬 #NuclearFusion #CleanEnergyFuture #CanadianInnovation

The journey of the Sun’s energy is a fascinating tale of time and distance. Deep within the Sun’s core, nuclear fusion generates immense energy as hydrogen atoms fuse into helium. This energy, in the form of photons, begins a slow and chaotic journey outward. Due to the extremely dense layers of the Sun’s interior, these photons are constantly absorbed and re-emitted by particles in a random walk a process that can take up to 17,000 years just to reach the surface of the Sun. Once this energy finally escapes into space from the surface, it travels at the speed of light and takes only 8 minutes and 20 seconds to reach Earth a stark contrast that highlights how slowly energy moves inside the Sun compared to the vast emptiness of space. So when we feel sunlight on our skin, we’re actually experiencing energy that began its journey thousands of years ago. #space #science #fact #facts

At just 12 years old, Jackson Oswalt from Memphis, USA, accomplished an extraordinary feat that captured the attention of the scientific community: he built a working nuclear fusion reactor in his bedroom. Inspired by a TED Talk by teenage physicist Taylor Wilson, Jackson began his journey by assembling a basic “demo fusor” and immersing himself in the complex science behind nuclear fusion. With support from his parents and equipment like a vacuum pump sourced from eBay, Jackson gradually upgraded his setup to handle the extreme conditions required for fusion. By age 13, he had successfully achieved fusion, drawing national media attention—and even a visit from the FBI to ensure everything was safe and legal. Though his early prototype could only run briefly due to overheating issues, Jackson’s accomplishment secured his place as one of the youngest individuals in history to achieve nuclear fusion. But in our country, we would say "oh! It’s a boy.He copied or stole it" Such a shame😒
