The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), commonly known as China's "artificial sun," has achieved a remarkable scientific milestone by maintaining steady-state high-confinement plasma operation for an impressive 1,

China's EAST project has set a new global record by maintaining a high-confinement plasma state for over 17 minutes, paving the way for future clean energy solutions by mimicking the sun's fusion process.

Hefei’s scientists managed to run the experiment for nearly 18 minutes (1,066 seconds), which is an enormous jump from the previous record of 403 seconds (nearly 7 minutes).

Scientists have succeeded in maintaining an "artificial sun" here on Earth for a whopping 17 minutes and 46 seconds.

China's artificial sun at the EAST fusion reactor facility has set a new record for how long it can burn six times hotter than the Sun.

General Atomic's new nuclear fuel was subjected to the maximum heat of a reactor for 20 minutes in the latest tests. A nuclear fusion reactor in China, dubbed the "artificial sun," has broken its own record to bring humanity one step closer to near-limitless clean energy.

The quest for harnessing nuclear fusion, the process that powers the sun, has taken a groundbreaking leap forward. On Monday, the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), often referred to as China’s “artificial sun,
