China claims leap forward in nuclear fusion
“The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), China’s experimental nuclear fusion reactor, has reportedly sustained a fusion reaction for…nearly 18 minutes…”
“Simulating a miniature version of the Sun inside a laboratory is, of course, an enormous challenge, making milestones like this particularly crucial. The key to EAST’s success lies in sustaining ultra-high temperatures in plasma over extended periods. This latest record of 1,066 seconds surpasses the previous benchmark of 403 seconds under similar plasma conditions.”
