The breakthrough puts the operational level of China's magnetic confinement nuclear fusion device at the forefront of the world, and is an important milestone in the country's development of nuclear fusion energy. The Huanliu-3, independently developed by China, is a large-scale research facility...
The successful trial indicates that the use of AI could be a breakthrough in the long-running search for electricity generated from nuclear fusion— bringing its introduction to replace fossil fuels and nuclear fission on modern power grids tantalizingly closer. "I think AI will play a very big...
A New Breakthrough in Fusion Reactors Could Solve a Major Problem Scientists Have Faced A fusion reactor contains some of the most intense conditions in the known universe, and making materials to withstand those conditions isn’t easy. By Darren OrfPublished: Sep 02, 2024 9:00 AM EDT Save ...
The idea of using nuclear fusion to power things has been an ongoing hypothetical for decades at this point. Unlike nuclear fission, which we see in nuclear reactors today, fusion looks to fuse two atoms together instead of splitting them. This liberates an insane amount of energy, and some ...
(Xinhua) -- The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), dubbed China's "artificial sun," maintained a steady-state high-confinement plasma operation for a remarkable 1,066 seconds on Monday, setting a new world record and marking a breakthrough in the quest for fusion power ...
