Squeeze inside a fusion reactor with a Nat Geo photographer

National Geographic Explorer Paolo Verzone provides a rare glimpse inside the Wendelstein 7-X, a stellarator fusion reactor in Germany. This experimental reactor, the largest of its kind, aims to achieve nuclear fusion by heating plasma to extreme temperatures and containing it with superconducting magnets. The Wendelstein 7-X has set a record for maintaining super-heated plasma for 43 seconds, showcasing its potential for future fusion power.
