Chinese scientists have successfully obtained high-confinement plasma for a record length of time, which experts believe will promote the development of international thermonuclear fusion research.
中國(guó)科學(xué)家成功獲得了創(chuàng)時(shí)間記錄的高約束模，專家們相信這將會(huì)推動(dòng)國(guó)際熱核聚變研究的發(fā)展。
The recent experiment was conducted using China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), an experimental thermonuclear fusion reactor that replicates the energy-generating process of the sun. The experiment lasted over one minute. This achievement will be key to the success of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), the largest international program dedicated to thermonuclear fusion experiments. It also marks a major step forward for fusion studies, Thepaper.cn reported on Nov. 2.

This is not the first time that EAST has generated enduring plasma. In 2012, plasma in a similar environment was maintained for 32 seconds, breaking the world record at that time. Since then, EAST has had its tungsten diverters and auxiliary heating system upgraded, laying the foundation to create long-pulse, high-confinement plasma.
此次并非EAST首次生成穩(wěn)態(tài)模。2012年，EAST在相同的環(huán)境里創(chuàng)造了32秒高約束模的世界紀(jì)錄。此后，EAST升級(jí)了鎢偏濾器和輔助加熱系統(tǒng)，為實(shí)現(xiàn)長(zhǎng)脈沖穩(wěn)態(tài)高約束模奠定了堅(jiān)實(shí)的基礎(chǔ)。
Officially established in 2006, the EAST fusion reactor is run by the Institute of Plasma Physics in Hefei.
EAST于2016年正式建立，由中科院合肥物質(zhì)科學(xué)研究院承擔(dān)。
