China’s “Artificial Sun� Manages To Stay On For A Minute » TechWorm


China has been able to successfully obtain high-confinement nuclear reactor plasma for a whole minute, which experts believe will promote the development of international thermonuclear fusion research. The reactor was able to maintain a temperature of 50 million Kelvins, that’s three times as hot as Sun’s core.

For those unfamiliar, Chinese scientists in February this year had made a nuclear reactor plasma that reached a temperature of 50 million Kelvins (or, 49.999 million degrees Celsius) – or thrice as hot as the sun’s 15 million Kelvins core.

The entire experiment was conducted using the nuclear reactor known as the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) – an experimental thermonuclear fusion reactor that replicates the energy-generating process of the sun – which is stationed at the Institute of Plasma Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Jiangsu province.

That is impressive.
