China accelerates efforts towards nuclear fusion with global research program

China has conducted another major nuclear fusion experiment in its pursuit of creating a novel source of energy. The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) fusion energy reactor, dubbed China's 'artificial sun' sustained plasma for a whopping 1,000 seconds, breaking the 403-second record it set in 2023, according to a report in Live Science, citing Chinese media reports. Developing nuclear fusion for energy requirements has long been a goal of scientists but reaching temperatures o
