China’s “Artificial Sun” Sets New Fusion Record: A Step Closer to Limitless Clean Energy On January 20, 2025, China achieved a groundbreaking milestone in clean energy development. The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), known as China’s “Artificial Sun,” sustained a stable plasma in high-confinement mode for an astonishing 1,066 seconds—nearly 18 minutes—shattering its previous record…
On January 20, 2025, China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), commonly known as the “artificial sun,” achieved a groundbreaking breakthrough in nuclear fusion research. The reactor maintained a steady-state high-confinement plasma operation for an unprecedented 1,066 seconds—nearly 18 minutes—shattering its previous record of 403 seconds set in 2023. This historic milestone is the result of…
Technology is advancing at an exponential rate, yet our ability to control it in the event of catastrophic consequences is almost nonexistent. Many experts warn that some of the technologies currently being developed pose serious existential threats to humanity. In other words, we may be recklessly creating something that could one day destroy us entirely….
