China’s “artificial sun” just shattered its own world record — EAST (the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak) maintained a stable, magnetically confined plasma loop for 1066 seconds, more than double its previous 403-second best. This breakthrough, achieved by doubling the heating power, advances research toward long-lasting plasma needed for future fusion power plants. While tokamaks haven’t reached ignition yet (where fusion sustains itself), this milestone moves us closer to near-unlimited clean energy. China also contributes to ITER in France, the massive international reactor aiming for fusion breakthroughs by 2039. Learn how this compares to the U.S. NIF ignition tests and what it means for fusion’s future. If you enjoyed this short, like and share! #Fusion #ArtificialSun #EAST #ITER #CleanEnergy #Tokamak
