Reported by Sanchita chatterjee:China has created an 'artificial sun' that is five times hotter than the real sun.

 China's "artificial sun," officially known as the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), is a nuclear fusion research device that mimics the sun's energy by fusing atoms together to generate clean energy. It has achieved major milestones by sustaining extremely hot plasma for record durations (over 1,000 seconds at a temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius), marking significant progress toward practical, inexhaustible, and zero-carbon energy. These groundbreaking achievements include advanced magnets and plasma control, demonstrating crucial capabilities for future fusion reactors. China is investing heavily in this sector and is leading in related patents.
