China's Artificial Sun

 

 

 

 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.

Vaccine Pass by French Government

 

 

French Govt. Recently approved a bill on health pass. Under the bill People more than 12 years of age should prove that they have been vaccinated to enter cultural venues, restaurants, bars or other public transport.

Space Station Researches

 

 

The ISS ( International Space Station) is the most expensive laboratory in the world. it has more than twenty year of opeartion. The tests and experiments conducted in the ISS has Provided insight into the effect of microgravity on human body and other interesting things. The Astronauts suffer from bone loss during their stay in space. However this can avoided by performing regular exercises in space. Also it was found that bone loss astronauts can be predicted through the elevation of certain biomarkers.

The mineral called colemanite is capable of protecting the astronauts from space radiation. it boron rich mineral. The experiment called MICS created cement in space. MICS is Microgravity Investigation of cement solidfication. The experiment proved that cement making possible in space.
