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.
'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.
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 Focus: Chinese "artificial sun" sets new record in milestone step toward fusion power generation
The duration of 1,000 seconds is considered a key step in fusion research. The breakthrough, achieved by the Institute of Plasma Physics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, greatly improved the original world record of 403 seconds, which was also set by EAST in 2023. (Xinhua/Zhou Mu)
China Breaks Nuclear Fusion Record, Again
