After months of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Create a record The experimental fusion power plant, the device, also known as the artificial sun, has been turned on again, ScienceAlert.
This is a new peak.
If fusion power plants can be put into practice, it will lead to a major energy transition. However, the implementation is very difficult, in practice the processes that occur in stars under terrestrial conditions must be reconstructed. Researchers are experimenting with different methods for creating and maintaining extreme temperatures and pressures. In a tokamak, plasma is heated and stored in a toroidal magnetic field similar to a doughnut.
The east had previously created 160 million degrees Celsius, which can hold up for 20 seconds. By comparison, the core temperature of the Sun is about 15 million degrees Celsius. The experiment at the end of December set a new record, but despite the encouraging results, it is worth emphasizing that the technology still has a long way to go.
