The device, called HL-2M Tokamak, is part of the nation's Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak project, which has been running since 2006. In March, an official from the China National ...

China has switched on its HL-2M EAST tokamak for its first planned full-strength fusion. EAST, an "artificial sun," is global peers with ITER and hopes to reach some of the same milestones.

In this regard, 2020 is an exciting year, with the German Wendelstein 7-X stellarator reaching its final configuration, and the Chinese HL-2M tokamak about to fire up. Join me after the break as I ...

China's HL-2M tokamak, commonly known as the new-generation "artificial sun," was powered up and then completed its first plasma discharge on Dec. 4, laying a solid foundation for building the ...

In March, Chinese researchers predicted that the nation's HL-2M tokamak — a device designed to replicate nuclear fusion, the same reaction that powers the Sun — would be built before the end ...

The powering up of HL-2M Tokamak, China’s newest nuclear fusion research device, last Friday was hailed by the country’s media as the “rise of an artificial sun”. It was not. The sun has ...

The HL-2M Tokamak device is designed to replicate the nuclear fusion process that occurs naturally in the sun and stars to provide almost infinite clean energy through controlled nuclear fusion ...

According to Duan, the HL-2M Tokamak will be able to achieve an ion temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius, about seven times hotter than the real Sun’s ion temperature. This meets meeting ...

With its plasma current exceeding one million amperes, China's new-generation "artificial sun," the HL-2M, has set a new record in the country for the operation of a controlled nuclear fusion ...

Compared with the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) in Hefei – China’s other artificial sun known for long-duration plasma experiments – the HL-3 is larger, newer ...
