Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Mr. Air, pigeon to Yongzhi, Brother Black fly's left hand, net some useless clues to deliver! CTOnews.com, April 13, according to CCTV news, 21:00 on April 12, the Hefei Institute of material Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, known as the "man-made sun", made great achievements in the world's first fully superconducting tokamak EAST device, realizing high-power and stable steady-state long-pulse high-confinement mode plasma operation and setting a new world record for steady-state high-confinement mode operation of the tokamak device.

The great innovative achievements of the EAST device provide an important experimental basis for the operation of the international thermonuclear experimental reactor ITER and for the independent construction and operation of the fusion reactor in China.

Song Yuntao, vice president of Hefei Institute of material Science and director of the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said: "the main significance of this breakthrough lies in the 'high constraint mode', in which the temperature and density of particles are greatly increased. This has laid a solid physical foundation for improving the power generation efficiency of the future Ju substation and reducing the cost."

EAST has a solar-like nuclear fusion reaction mechanism, which is used to explore nuclear fusion energy applications. The EAST, which is about 11 meters high, 8 meters in diameter and weighs more than 400 tons, looks like a huge "jar" that uses liquid helium to cool superconducting magnets to trap plasma in a device to achieve controllable nuclear fusion. According to CTOnews.com 's previous report, since its establishment more than 10 years ago, "artificial Sun" has successively achieved major international breakthroughs such as stable 101.2 second steady long pulse high confinement plasma operation, electron temperature 100 million degrees Celsius 20 seconds plasma operation and so on.
