China's 'artificial sun' research complex BEST tokamak launched in Hefei

The research complex of the 'artificial sun' — the BEST tokamak — has been commissioned in Hefei, China.

The facility is still under construction and is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2027.

Around 2030, they plan to first demonstrate on it that controlled nuclear fusion can generate electricity — the same principle by which the Sun shines and heats, but on Earth.
