Any nail abnormalities, such as sudden color changes or intense breakage, can sometimes suggest a more serious underlying health issue.

The operation was performed in the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) which, according to the institute, maintained the operation for 1,066 seconds – almost 18 minutes and considerably longer than the previous record of 403 seconds the facility achieved in 2023. Creating plasma and keeping it contained is hard. Tokamaks do it in a chamber, often doughnut-shaped, that contains gases that are heated to high temperatures and subjected to enormous pressure until they becomes a plasma.

If I were running one of these places or...
