Wendelstein 7-X

Wendelstein 7-X is a large experimental nuclear fusion facility located in Germany. Its goal is to explore a method of generating clean energy by mimicking the processes that power the sun. It uses advanced magnetic fields to contain superheated plasma—a state of matter where atoms are stripped of electrons. By achieving stable plasma conditions, researchers aim to unlock the potential of fusion as a viable energy source. If successful, this could lead to a safe, sustainable, and virtually limitless energy supply for the future, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and helping combat climate change.
