China completes testing of world’s biggest superconducting magnet for ‘artificial sun’ project
The superconducting magnet for the China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CRAFT), which supports the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), known as the “artificial sun,” recently passed development acceptance and full-parameter testing. The CRAFT project aims to recreate the nuclear fusion process that powers the sun by generating plasma at temperatures exceeding 100 million degrees Celsius…
