This is a huge step towards doing it sustainably. Only a few years ago, it was impossible to reach temperatures like this for more than a fraction of a second, and now we're rapidly approaching two minutes. It's likely that in just a few years, it will be possible to do for hours at a time, if not indefinitely.
Less than a year ago, the record was on KSTAR, and that was 20 seconds. A year before it was 8.
