China Moves Closer to Creating Endless Clean Energy
China's EAST thermonuclear reactor, known as the "artificial sun," has made a significant breakthrough: scientists have, for the first time, stably maintained plasma at a density significantly exceeding the previously considered Greenwald limit.
This achievement paves the way for creating more efficient and compact fusion reactors.
The key to success was precise control of the plasma's interaction with the reactor walls, which prevented instability.
This achievement has direct implications for the global ITER project—the construction of the world's largest tokamak in France, whose goal is to prove the possibility of obtaining energy from nuclear fusion.
