Chinese 'artificial sun' sets a record towards fusion power generation
The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), commonly known as China's "artificial sun," has achieved a remarkable scientific milestone by maintaining steady-state high-confinement plasma operation for an impressive 1,
This ‘Artificial Sun’ Just Smashed Its Own Nuclear Fusion Record.
The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak in Heifei, China, a testbed for the long-awaited (and now delayed) International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), successfully contained steady-state high-confinement plasma for nearly 17 minutes.
China sets new fusion endurance record of over a thousand seconds
China has achieved a major milestone in the quest for practical commercial fusion power. The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) reactor in Hefei, Anhui Province has set a new record with a 1,
'Artificial Sun' Blazes Past 1,000 Seconds in New Fusion Record
Scientists just set a new record in attempts to create an 'artificial Sun' down here on planet Earth. The team behind the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) in China kept their fusion drive running for more than 1,000 seconds for the first time – lasting for 1,066 seconds (almost 18 minutes) to be exact.
Why China’s recent nuclear fusion breakthrough is significant
In the last few years, fusion research has produced a string of breakthroughs. In December 2021, the United Kingdom-based JET laboratory set a new record in the amount of energy produced through fusion.
China's artificial sun burns for 1000+ secs, creates record in fusion research
Since starting operation in 2006, EAST has been an open test platform for Chinese and international scientists to conduct fusion-related experiments.
China claims major fusion advance and record after 17-minute Tokamak run
China’s Hefei Institutes of Physical Science has claimed a new world record for maintaining a steady-state high-confinement plasma operation, a feat needed to create a fusion reactor that in theory will produce vast amounts of energy at little cost.
China Breaks Nuclear Fusion Record, Again
Chinese researchers set a new record by sustaining a nuclear fusion reaction at 100 million degrees Celsius for 1,066 seconds.
China's artificial sun burns for 1,000 seconds, reaches 100 million degrees Celsius
The experimental reactor's main goal is to create nuclear fusion like the Sun, using deuterium from the sea to provide a steady stream of clean energy.
