Recently, An experiment on Artificial Sun at the Hefei Institute of Physical science china's eastern province of Anhui. More than 10,000 Chinese and foreign scientific researchers took part in this $948 million project called experiential advanced superconducting tokamak.
The experiment started in December 2021 and last until june 2022, EAST (Experiential Advanced Superconducting Tokamak) Seeks to utilise the power of nuclear fusion. This is less explored way of harnessing nuclear energy.
The EAST reactor is being tested in order to make its auxiliary heating system becomes Hotter and Durable.
EAST was designed and built by the chinese. It has been used for nuclear fusion experiments since 2006. However, researchers have achieved an important milestone in the recent experiments only.
Experiments on EAST reactor might help scientists to get closer to Unlimited clean energy.
Challenges- Scientists are now facing the challenge to maintain temperatures above 100 million degrees Celsius and operate the setup in a stable way for long Durations.
