CHINA Released A Revolutionary Fusion Reactor! What They're About To Do SCARES Everyone!

The past few months, we've seen some exciting progress in nuclear fusion. The latest news comes from China, where a special fusion reactor called the experimental superconducting tokamak reached a big milestone.

Nuclear fusion, which powers stars, involves combining hydrogen atoms into helium at extremely high temperatures and pressures. This process releases a huge amount of light and heat. Scientists are very interested in this method because it doesn't produce greenhouse gases or long-lasting nuclear waste. However, it's tough to create the same intense pressures on Earth, so our reactors need to get much hotter than the stars.

But here's the tricky part: keeping the plasma at these extreme temperatures without letting it damage the reactor walls. Scientists use lasers or magnetic fields to control it, which is very challenging. The recent experiment with the Chinese tokamak wasn't about achieving fusion just yet. It was more about testing whether the reactor could handle these high temperatures for a long time.

It's good news from China. Today many countries are making great progress in testing nuclear fusion. The EU, America, Japan, and Korea are also among the countries that have made progress in this matter. Hope we will probably see success in the near decade.

Putting a comment down so I can hear more about this from informed minds.
