China makes breakthrough in 'man-made sun' research
An artificial sun experiment developed by Hefei Institute of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Science, has successfully realised UHT long pulse plasma discharge at a temperature of more than 50 million degrees.
As of January, the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) fusion device, nicknamed "artificial sun", made a 102-second-long pulse plasma discharge at a central electron temperature of 50 million degrees-plus, the People's Daily reported on Thursday.

"An artificial sun can provide limitless clean energy through controlled thermonuclear fusion," said Xu Jiannan, a researcher at the China Academy of Engineering Physics. The light and heat of the sun come from two of hydrogen's family members: deuterium and tritium.
These release a huge amount of energy during the process of fusion into a helium atom. The artificial sun imitates this fusion process.
