China has fired up the world's largest superconducting magnet for nuclear fusion. Built for the CRAFT "artificial sun" project in Hefei, the toroidal-field coil weighs 582 tonnes, stores three times the energy of the equivalent magnet at the international ITER reactor, and is designed to trap a plasma hotter than 100 million degrees Celsius. Every critical part was made in China. #China #NuclearFusion #ArtificialSun #CRAFT

Humanity stands on the threshold of a new energy era. In Hefei, eastern China, the next-generation "artificial sun" known as BEST is designed to transform fusion from a science experiment into a real-world power source. Standing for Burning Plasma Experimental Superconducting Tokamak, the reactor’s mission is to achieve “burning plasma,” where the fusion reaction generates its own sustaining heat. This is essential for the industry's holy grail: net energy gain. Targeting a 20 to 200 megawatt output (enough to power tens of thousands of households), BEST plans to demonstrate electricity generation by 2030. As a member of ITER—the world’s largest international fusion project in France—China contributes key components and shares research outcomes. Operating within frameworks like the “Hefei Fusion Declaration,” BEST serves as an open platform, pooling data and resources to accelerate the global transition to abundant, zero-carbon energy. This collaboration is proving that fusion is no longer just a distant dream, but a viable future solution.

Holy Shit 🤯🤯🤯 Israel just achieved a major fusion energy milestone faster than almost anyone expected. nT-Tao’s compact fusion reactor fired its first plasma pulses in the C3 prototype just months after assembly. Their high-density toroidal design aims for practical, on-site fusion power that could one day supply clean, limitless energy to data centers, naval ships, remote mountain bases… and even future Mars mission habitats. This compact “donut-shaped” system could eventually deliver clean energy almost anywhere on Earth… or beyond. This isn’t science fiction anymore. It’s Israeli innovation bringing fusion energy closer to reality than ever before. Proud every single day. 🇮🇱 #nTTao #FusionEnergy #PlasmaTech #IsraelInnovation #StartupNation

China says it will generate its first electricity from nuclear fusion around 2030 — after two 582-tonne toroidal field magnets, the largest superconducting magnets ever built for a fusion device, passed full-load testing in July 2026. Behind that date sit two "artificial suns": the EAST tokamak in Hefei, world record holder for sustaining a 100-million-degree plasma for 1,066 seconds, and the HL-3 tokamak in Chengdu, which has pushed atomic nuclei to 117 million degrees Celsius — nearly eight times hotter than the Sun's core. Let’s break down how a tokamak actually works, what China's fusion records really mean, the roadmap from 2027 to 2050 — and the honest catch nobody mentions. #NuclearFusion #ArtificialSun #FusionEnergy

No one really understands nukes. Thermonuclear weapons aren't 'demonic,' but control of the atom is a technological leap that many species will never make. Humans can understand every physical principle in this Universe, even dangerous ones. We build the weapons that will destroy us. Nukes haven't been used only once, and they are more than just big radioactive explosions. They are the key to unlimited energy and travel amongst the stars. "The physics of the H bomb is also the key to the unlimited energy of fusion." - Fusion Energy Foundation (1981)

ELON: WE COULD POWER ALL OF EARTH WITH SOLAR AND BATTERIES “We already have a giant fusion reactor in the sky called the sun that shows up every day. I always say, if you want to know what standing in front of a fusion reactor feels like, just go out and stand in front of the sun. Just walk outside. That's what a giant fusion reactor feels like because that's what the sun is. It converts about four and a half million tons of mass to energy every second and requires no maintenance. It's amazing. You don't have to refuel it, you don't have to maintain it, it's just there. So my recommendation for fusion is solar power and batteries. We can easily power all of Earth with just photovoltaics and batteries. I mean, not easily, but there's a very clear path to do so and no miracles required, just work.” Source: WSJ Interview, May 23, 2023

China provides update on its artificial sun research in BEST project from Hefei. By end of 2027, this device will conduct research & verify long-pulse steady state operation -> achieving fusion power of 20 to 200MW + realization greater energy production than consumption. Some challenges in fusions include: 1) obtaining Tritium/Hydrogen-3 for DT fusion. Need to verify self-sustaining production can happen & fusion reactor can produce tritium by itself. 2) "first wall" problem - large number of high energy fast neutrons are produced, which colligate with reactor inner wall material -> causing degradation. Need to verify material design that can absorb ultra-high energy neutron impact. 3) combustion time - long term controlled plasma combustion requires highly sophisticated predictive models & control systems. Sounds like we are still pretty far from achieving long sustaining fusion energy & at competitive operating cost.

China just dropped another quiet bombshell in the tech race: its “Artificial Sun” fusion project is no longer a lab curiosity, it’s becoming an integrated industrial ecosystem. The U.S. talks about fusion breakthroughs. China builds the supply chain. In the Yangtze River Delta alone: • superconductors from Shanghai • armor materials from Zhejiang • insulation systems from Jiangsu • 60% of reactor components made locally • an alliance that grew from 60 → 300 companies in 3 years • ITER-level demand fueling domestic upgrades This is what the West still doesn’t get: Fusion won’t be won by a single experiment, it will be won by the civilization that can manufacture the future at scale. China isn’t just chasing fusion, it is industrializing it. Different strategies. Different time horizons. Different destinies. The U.S. is racing for a breakthrough. China is racing to make the breakthrough commonplace.

New year, new major milestone: We have completed, delivered, and mounted our first magnet for SPARC inside Tokamak Hall ✅ 🧲 . The significance of this toroidal field (TF) magnet achievement can't be overstated. In many ways, its story is the CFS story. Back when the company started in 2018, some thought creating a TF magnet with high-temperature superconductor (HTS) was a farfetched idea. But our founders' resolve to develop this key innovation unlocked our new pathway to a smaller, more economical fusion power plant. This toroidal field (TF) magnet is one of 18 that'll be threaded around the vacuum vessel to help tame and confine the superhot plasma once our SPARC tokamak is operational. The vacuum vessel, the donut-shaped container at the heart of the machine as devoid of air as outer space, offers the extreme conditions needed for fusion. The TF magnets help create a magnetic bottle, confining the fusion plasma to keep it away from the vessel walls that would cool it down.

Xinjiang’s cumulative outbound power transmission has surpassed 1 trillion kWh, with approximately one-third being clean green energy. This volume is sufficient to meet the domestic electricity needs of China’s 1.4 billion residents for over 300 days. Endowed with abundant coal, solar, and wind resources, Xinjiang serves as a national strategic base for energy security and a vital sending hub in China’s west-to-east power transmission progrom. To address the mismatch between the distribution of resources and the space for energy consumption within China, Xinjiang has constructed five major outbound channels. These “energy superhighways” have successfully enabled the nationwide allocation of resources, transforming the wind and sun of western China into the driving force for eastern China’s high-quality development.
