Chinese scientists have successfully activated their advanced experimental HL-2M Tokamak nuclear fusion reactor.The team the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science even claim it operates at temperatures hotter than the sun.The reactor, which duplicates the intense nuclear fusion reactions that take place at the heart of the sun, uses a powerful magnetic field to contain plasma heated to over 150million degrees Celsius.These temperatures are the highest seen on Earth since the planet formed.
The experimental reactor has been dubbed an "artificial sun" because of its incredible heat and the power it produces.Friday’s success represents an important milestone on a journey that began in 2006, when the reactor was first built."The development of.
