China fires up its 'artificial sun' for the first time: Experimental nuclear fusion reactor that burn TEN TIMES hotter than the sun offers the promise of 'limitless clean power'

China has successfully fired up its 'artificial sun' nuclear fusion reactor for the first time in its quest to find 'limitless clean power', according to state media.

The HL-2M Tokamak reactor is China's largest and most advanced nuclear fusion experimental research device, and scientists hope that the device can potentially unlock a powerful green energy source.

The cutting-edge device uses a powerful magnetic field to fuse hot plasma and can reach temperatures of over 150million degrees Celsius (302million degrees Fahrenheit), according to the People's Daily -- approximately 10 times hotter than the core of the sun.

Located in south-western Sichuan province and completed late last year, the reactor is often called an 'artificial sun' on account of the enormous heat and power it produces.

'The development of nuclear fusion energy is not only a way to solve China's strategic energy needs, but also has great significance for the future sustainable development of China's energy and national economy,' said the People's Daily, a mouthpiece of the ruling Communist Party.

The new equipment is now ready to be put into use officially after being powered up during an experiment at around 2pm in a research laboratory in Chengdu.

Yu Jianfeng, chairman of China National Nuclear Corporation which is in charge of the development of the reactor, said the success could improve scientists' understanding of fusion power.

Stop glorifying China unnecessary, America had it first test in 1951
And have managed to stabilize it,
France is currently planning a site for commercial use of its energy, let's know how many seconds that test the chinko did lasted

What Amazing times and Seasons we are in.
Its Incredible How Fast Endtimes Prophecies are being Fulfilled

Isaiah Prophecy coming to fruition.
Isaiah 30:26-28
26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
27 Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:
28 And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.

JESUS is Coming Folks..
Don't let anyone Deceive or confuse you.

Fusion is a clean source of energy unlike fission.

Physicists aren't resting. What we were told in elementary Physics before was that nuclear fusion isn't possible yet because there are no materials that can withstand the heat beaded to fuse the nuclei.

But with this, give it to science already.

Hey this people trying hard to play God... hope they tested it thoroughly and perfectly this time.

Because we don't need another COVID-21.
COVID 19 and COVID 20 are already enough.

Secondly, are we not already complaining of Global warming?
Will this not increase the rate of disintegration of the already rapidly melting Polar ice?
Advancements in Technologies must be accompanied by a well researched impact on the environment.

Anyway, over to you Greta Thurnberg and "Fridays for the Future" activists.

See your line of reasoning abeg. So cos USA did it first, no country has the right to make its own attempt and celebrate same!? Forget that thing you are talking. The major reason USA stays ahead is cos apart from trying to attract best minds around the world, it is a big bully. China on the other hand is highly conservative. China's advancement in technology is what even USA can't afford to overlook and evidently, they have not made that mistake. I would love the final success of such technology to even come from China cos we have a higher chance of tapping from that tech as compared to when it's the Big Bully.
