The ultimate goal of EAST, located at the Institute of Plasma Physics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (ASIPP) in Hefei, is to create nuclear fusion like the sun, using substances abundant in the sea to provide a steady stream of clean energy. Song Yuntao, ASIPP director, told Xinhua ...
which also uses laser-ignition technology,made a huge fusion energy breakthroughin 2022. In a world first, NIF scientists achieved a successful nuclear fusion reaction with a net energy gain (although they didn’t count the energy needed to power the lasers). ...
EAST produced its breakthrough temperatures and densities for around 10 seconds by combining four different heating methods to create the plasma and spark the fusion process. In this case, the methods were lower hybrid wave heating (oscillating the ions and electrons in the plasma), electron cyclot...
The world's first 4th generation nuclear power plant has been put into commercial operation in east China's Shandong Province. The latest report on the artificial intelligence industry shows there are over 5,000 AI firms in China. China made new breakthrough in offshore oil and gas processing...
Fusion built momentum last year when scientists at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in California using lasers repeated a fusion breakthrough. Holland says fusion will be providing power to the grid in a decade. Not everyone puts faith in that timeline. "Maybe he means dog...
In a remarkable achievement, China’s new-generation magnetic confinement fusion device, the HL-3 tokamak (formerly known as HL-2M), achieved high-confinement mode (H-mode) operation with a plasma current of 1 mega amperes (MA) for the first time on August 25th, 2023. This breakthrough si...
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 (ASIPP), greatly improved the original world record of 403 seconds, which was also set by EAST in 2023. ...
“Fusion has the potential to lift more citizens of the world out of poverty than anything since the invention of fire,” said Congressman Don Beyer at a White House fusion power strategy launch event earlier this year. The recent breakthrough in December has excited the industry around the wo...
