China's Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) reactor, known as the "artificial sun," broke its previous record by sustaining and confining a super-hot fusion plasma for 403 seconds, a significant breakthrough in the field of nuclear fusion. This achievement is considered a milestone in China's quest for efficient thermonuclear fusion, and a key step towards developing a fusion reactor.

The EAST reactor, a type of tokamak fusion device, uses magnetic fields to contain hydrogen isotopes' plasma in a donut-shaped chamber and heat it to millions of degrees Celsius, causing atoms to fuse and release energy. Scientists worldwide have been working to achieve sustained nuclear fusion, a significant technical challenge.

The EAST reactor, located at the Institute of Plasma Physics in Hefei, China, has been conducting experiments since its construction in 2006. The recent breakthrough, achieved after over 120,000 shots, greatly improved upon the original world record. This progress brings scientists one step closer to developing clean, renewable energy sources.

China's achievement represents a significant breakthrough in nuclear fusion, and the potential for clean, renewable energy sources becomes a reality with sustained nuclear fusion. Scientists worldwide will continue to work towards further progress, hoping to develop a commercial fusion reactor someday.

from 101 to 103 seconds ... is this a break-trough ?
