China plans to launch an "artificial sun" project based on nuclear fusion by 2027. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Known as the Burning Plasma Experimental Superconducting Tokamak (BEST), this project is the result of the country's many years of research in the field of nuclear energy. The main goal of the project is to replicate the energy processes of the Sun on Earth and create an unlimited, clean energy source.
According to information, Chinese scientists succeeded in maintaining plasma at a high temperature for more than 1000 seconds in 2025 at the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) facility in Hefei city. This scientific achievement is considered an important step in the field of nuclear fusion.
However, experts emphasize that this technology has not yet become a fully viable energy source. The energy produced by the reactor is not greater than the energy consumed.
Additionally, issues such as material durability and stabilizing the process on an industrial scale still need to be resolved. If China successfully launches the "artificial sun" project by 2027, it could lead to significant changes in the global energy system.
This project will play an important role in creating a clean and unlimited energy source in the future.
