We are going to figure out how to use nuclear fusion; count on it.

End of fossil fuels? China close to creating 'ARTIFICIAL STAR' three times hotter than sun

Chinese experts last week successfully produced hydrogen gas more than three times hotter than the core of the Sun. Crucially, the scientists were able to maintain that temperature - 50 million°C - for 102 seconds. The experiment means nuclear fusion experts are a step nearer to replacing depleting fossil fuels with limitless nuclear energy powered by the ultra-high temperature gas.

interesting

but this is coming out of China, so I'd be suspicious of anything they claim

When others can reproduce the same results then I'll get excited.

If fusion is ever shown to work stable as a real energy source it will probably come out of china. Government supported tech simply has more resources and will win most of the time!

well loos at our little leftist routing for china

man, you really hate freedom and are just so fucking ignorant of the world it's shocking

Hopefully, given China's record, they don't create a runaway fusion effect of some kind and turn the whole planet into a brief star...

I think you're all underestimating China big time. They more than anybody need an alternative energy source. They are investing heavily into nuclear.
