Tiangong’s Amazing Feat! : World Record Metal Heating in Orbit!

“Tiangong’s Amazing Feat! : World Record Metal Heating in Orbit!”
China’s Tiangong space station has just set a world record by heating a tungsten alloy to more than 3,100°C—nearly half the surface temperature of the Sun! Using a unique container-free experiment inside the Tianhe core module, scientists melted the metal without contamination, creating a perfect sphere suspended in microgravity. A dual-wavelength laser system combined with electrostatic levitation made this breakthrough possible, allowing researchers to capture data that ground-based laboratories could never achieve.
Why does this matter? These findings could pave the way for new spacecraft heat shields, rocket engine components, and even materials for fusion energy systems on Earth. This experiment proves Tiangong is not just a home for astronauts but a world-class orbital laboratory driving the future of technology. Don’t miss this exciting deep dive into the science shaping tomorrow’s exploration!
