American scientists are significantly closer to creating an artificial Sun. Experts have achieved
This was reported in the National Complexlaser thermonuclear reactions of the United States, on the territory of which 192 lasers focused on one point were placed. As part of the new experiment, scientists managed to produce 25 times more energy than in the previous attempt.
During the reaction, 1.3 mJ of energy was released. Scientists have been pursuing this for ten years. Now they intend to achieve a self-sustaining thermonuclear reaction.

For the experiment, fuel fromhydrogen isotopes of deuterium and tritium. The diameter of the tablet was several millimeters. After igniting at a temperature of more than 3 million degrees, the fuel turned into plasma, and the shock wave compressed it to a point the diameter of which is equal to the diameter of a human hair.
