China's Artificial Sun Program

China’s ambitious project to create an artificial sun is making waves in the scientific community. The project, which is being developed at the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) in Hefei, aims to replicate the process of nuclear fusion, the same process that powers the sun, to create a clean and virtually limitless source of energy. In this article, we’ll take a deeper look at the technology behind China’s artificial sun, the benefits it could bring, and why China is investing so heavily in it.
