SB Media on Instagram: "Nuclear fusion is the process that powers the Sun and the stars. It happens when two hydrogen atoms fuse together under extreme heat and pressure, releasing enormous amounts of energy. Unlike nuclear fission, fusion doesn’t produce long-lived radioactive waste, it’s clean, safe, and virtually limitless. What you’re seeing here is real fusion plasma inside the ST40 spherical tokamak, filmed in colour at 16,000 frames per second (just 0.3 seconds of real time). The pink glo

Explaining on Instagram: "Scientists have captured the first ever high-speed, full-colour footage of fusion plasma swirling inside a working reactor — a moment that turns science fiction into visual reality. 📸🔥 A spherical tokamak known as the ST40 was fitted with a specialised camera filming at 16,000 frames per second. The result: vivid pink, green and red glows as deuterium fuel is injected and lithium granules drop into the super-heated plasma. These colours reveal how the plasma behaves a

Galaxies on Instagram: "The video shows a plasma pulse inside Tokamak Energy’s ST40 fusion device, recorded with a high-speed color camera running at about 16,000 frames per second. A tokamak uses powerful magnetic fields to confine plasma—superheated, electrically charged gas—in an attempt to achieve nuclear fusion. What looks like slow swirling motion in the footage is actually an extremely fast and violent process stretched out in time by the high-speed recording. The glowing shapes you see a
