Detailed explanation-1: -Physicists from South Korea have discovered an artificial source of clean nuclear energy by initiating a strong nuclear reaction that produced temperatures seven times higher than the Sun. This discovery of creating an “artificial Sun” represented a significant advance in their study, said a report from New York Post.

Detailed explanation-2: -It’s Definitely Possible! As it turns out, we can have an artificial sun on Earth, but as you might expect, creating an artificial sun takes a bit more than conducting a small experiment with regular equipment in a typical laboratory.

Detailed explanation-3: -The biggest artificial sun in the world outshines everything. This system, consisting of 149 powerful lamps and 10, 000 times stronger than sunlight, is called the sun on Earth. This light source can reach a temperature of 3, 000 °C by focusing on a single point.

Detailed explanation-4: -“Known as Korea’s ‘artificial sun, ’ the KSTAR uses magnetic fields to generate and stabilize ultra-hot plasma, with the ultimate aim of making nuclear fusion power a reality-a potentially unlimited source of clean energy that could transform the way we power our lives, if we can get it to work as intended.”
