Chinese fusion experiment generates an electron temperature of over 100 million degrees

Posted by in category: nuclear energy

A team of Chinese researchers has conducted an experiment that is nicknamed the “Chinese artificial sun” using the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) fusion device. The EAST device has been conducting a four-month-long experiment with the goal of seeing how hot the electron temperature inside the fusion device could be. The scientists were able to achieve an electron temperature in the core plasma of over 100 million degrees.
