Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), made a breakthrough with new plasma development of 403 seconds on April 12, breaking its own record made of 101 seconds in 2017. It marked an important milestone in fusion energy research and brought us one step closer to developing a clean, sustainable source of power for the future.
The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), known as the Chinese "artificial sun," achieved a steady-state high-confinement long-plasma operation for 403 seconds on Wednesday, a key step toward the development of a fusion reactor. The breakthrough, achieved after more than 120,000 shots, greatly improved the original world record of 101 seconds, which was set by EAST in 2017.
