China's "artificial sun" achieves breakthrough

中国“人造太阳”获重大突破

The experimental advanced superconducting tokamak (EAST), or the Chinese "artificial sun," achieved a steadystate high confinement plasma operation for 403 seconds on April 12, a key step toward the development of a fusion reactor. The breakthrough, achieved after more than 120,000 shots, greatly improved the original world record of 101 seconds, which was set by EAST in 2017.

第122254次实验！4月12日，中国有“人造太阳”之称的全超导托卡马克核聚变实验装置（EAST）创造新的世界纪录，成功实现稳态高约束模式等离子体运行403秒，刷新2017年的101秒世界纪录，对探索未来的聚变堆前沿物理问题，提升核聚变能源经济性、可行性，加快实现聚变发电具有重要意义。
