BS News Agency: China's "artificial sun," officially the Experimental Advanced Superconducting
Tokamak (EAST), is a nuclear fusion research device that mimics the sun's energy by fusing atoms for clean power, achieving major milestones by sustaining super-hot plasma for record durations (over 1,000 seconds at 100 million°C), marking significant progress towards practical, limitless zero-carbon energy. These breakthroughs involve advanced magnets and plasma control, demonstrating capabilities crucial for future fusion reactors, with China investing heavily and leading in related patents.
