China Breaks Record in Nuclear Fusion by Generating, Sustaining, and Confined a Superheated Fusion Plasma for 403 Seconds

Last Wednesday (12), the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Hefei set a new record in nuclear fusion by generating, sustaining, and confining a superheated fusion plasma for 403 seconds. China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), also called the Artificial Sun, broke the previous record of 101 seconds, set in 2017.

Nuclear fusion is considered a cleaner and safer alternative to nuclear fission and can be used as an energy source. Nuclear fusion does not create radioactive waste and produces three to four times more energy than nuclear fission.

Superconducting Magnets to Control the Plasma

The tokamak is a donut-shaped machine that uses powerful magnets to contain a circular flow of superheated plasma. Plasma is created when atoms are heated to such high temperatures that they become torn apart, resulting in a “soup” of electrons and positively and negatively charged ions. To maintain these superheated temperatures, the plasma must be confined to a small area, which is accomplished by magnets. The necessary field to control the plasma is generated by passing enormous currents through large conductors. The use of superconducting magnets allows EAST to reach and maintain high temperatures efficiently, as they produce zero resistance and no residual heat under the right conditions.

Contribution of the Artificial Sun to International Collaboration

The Artificial Sun of China has contributed to a 35-year collaboration between the country, the European Union, India, Japan, South Korea, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the USA to develop and optimize the world’s largest tokamak, called ITER. Currently under construction in France, ITER is expected to produce its first plasma by the end of 2025 and be fully operational by 2035. The international collaboration aims to build an experimental nuclear fusion reactor capable of producing energy sustainably and safely.

The total project cost of ITER is estimated at around €20 billion, making it one of the most expensive scientific projects ever undertaken. However, fusion energy advocates argue that the investment is worthwhile, as fusion energy has the potential to be a clean and abundant energy source for future generations.

Nuclear Fusion in China Does Not Create Radioactive Waste and Produces Three to Four Times More Energy Than Nuclear Fission.

Nuclear fusion is considered a cleaner and safer alternative to nuclear fission and fossil fuels. Fusion does not create radioactive waste and produces three to four times more energy than nuclear fission. Furthermore, fusion does not release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, unlike the burning of fossil fuels. However, fusion requires large amounts of energy to reach the necessary temperature and pressure for the reaction. The international collaboration seeks to overcome these challenges to make nuclear fusion a viable and sustainable energy source.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

China puts into operation the largest shallow lithology offshore field in the country, with 79 wells, heavy oil, and a production of 20,000 barrels per day.

Bacterial disease already affects almost half of the Brazilian citrus belt, causes losses of US$ 120 million per year, deforms green oranges, and threatens the country that dominates the global orange juice market while the US and Europe increasingly depend on Brazil.

After days at sea, imagine returning to an apartment just minutes from the most sophisticated beach in Rio, with the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas bike path nearby and all the infrastructure of the South Zone. Leblon has become the preferred refuge for those working in the oil and gas sector.

Melting of Arctic ice has exposed shallow waters to more sunlight and accelerated a process that reduces nitrate, an essential nutrient for sustaining the marine food chain.

Dubai is building in the desert the largest airport in the world, a $35 billion structure with 400 gates and a capacity for 260 million passengers per year, and plans to retire the current one by 2035, which is currently the busiest in the world for international flights, to relocate everything.
