China’s ‘artificial star’ fusion reactor is setting records

The video explains the process of hydrogen fusion, which is eight times hotter than the sun, and how scientists are attempting to replicate this process on Earth. It describes the sun's role in facilitating fusion through high-speed hydrogen nuclei collisions. The video also covers the use of magnetic coils to stabilize hydrogen plasma and the need to heat the plasma to increase collision chances. A record plasma temperature of 120 million degrees Celsius was achieved for 101 seconds.
