China Activates First Artificial Sun: 120 Million Degrees Shocking the World
China has recently made headlines by achieving a technological feat that has the potential to revolutionize the world’s energy landscape. The nation successfully activated its first artificial sun, a nuclear fusion reactor reaching temperatures of 120 million degrees Celsius. This landmark achievement, accomplished through the Huanliu-3 (HL-3) tokamak, has brought both hope and anxiety to the global stage. It holds the promise of nearly limitless clean energy, while at the same time raising concerns about the risks and implications of this new technology. Harnessing nuclear fusion has long been a dream for scientists worldwide. While nuclear fission, the process used in traditional nuclear reactors, involves splitting atoms, nuclear fusion involves merging atomic nuclei to release enormous amounts of energy. This is the same process that powers stars, including our sun, making it a coveted goal for humanity's quest to develop sustainable energy solutions. China's achievement ha…
