hello dear steemians i know that this is realy shocking news for you people as I was also reacted same when I first read the news the I have research on it and I became more shocked when I go deeper. science is really amazing thing
"science is the poetry of reality "
here I am gonna show you how different countries are trying to achieve nuclear fusion experiment, which give many time more heat then sun. first they are doing individual experiment and then I will tell you at the end how they come together to share their technology for the betterment of the world. just imagine you give 50 megawatt input and at output you receive 500 megawatt of energy this all be done through fusion reaction.
China creates artificial star 8,600 times hotter than sun’s surface
Introduction
Chinese scientists at the Institute of Physical Science in Hefei achieved something spectacular: the creation of a temporary artificial star three times hotter than the core of our sun.
The artificial star was maintained for 102 seconds before the 49.999 million degree Celsius mass melted the core of the nuclear fusion chamber.
The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (East) project is part of global efforts in figuring out how to create a viable source of energy from nuclear fusion reactors, so as to provide a more efficient alternative to our current systems, which are heavily reliant on the use of fossil fuels.
The project, which cost 300 million yuan (approximately $37 million), is attempting to solve a fundamental problem that scientists have had since the Industrial Revolution; that of creating more energy from machines than the initial input.
how it works?
Nuclear fusion works on heating a combination of two types of hydrogen gas - deuterium and tritium - to around 100 million degrees Celsius in order to create energy from the plasma that subsequently forms. This particular type of power has fascinated scientists since the early 1940s, and, with a planet rapidly depleting its fossil fuels, is increasingly being seen as best alternative power source for the future.
Benefits
Fusion reactors, and the energy they produce, have many benefits compared to their fossil fuel-based counterparts; they are carbon free, produce no nuclear waste, and cannot constitute a safety hazard. Most importantly, they are extremely efficient: 1 kilogram of fuel produced in this manner is equivalent to 100 million kilograms of fossil fuels, according to the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy.
UK has build its first ever plasma which is 7 times more hotter then core of the sun.

ITER the world largest fusion experiment.
the wd top countries are sharing their fussion technology and experience in mega project called ITER (international thermonuclear reactor)
The project is funded and run by seven member entities—the European Union, India, Japan, China, Russia, South Korea, and the United States. The EU, as host party for the ITER complex, is contributing about 45 percent of the cost, with the other six parties contributing approximately 9 percent each.

What is tokamak?
Power plants today rely either on fossil fuels, nuclear fission, or renewable sources like wind or water. Whatever the energy source, the plants generate electricity by converting mechanical power, such as the rotation of a turbine, into electrical power. In a coal-fired steam station, the combustion of coal turns water into steam and the steam in turn drives turbine generators to produce electricity.
The tokamak is an experimental machine designed to harness the energy of fusion. Inside a tokamak, the energy produced through the fusion of atoms is absorbed as heat in the walls of the vessel. Just like a conventional power plant, a fusion power plant will use this heat to produce steam and then electricity by way of turbines and generators.
The heart of a tokamak is its doughnut-shaped vacuum chamber. Inside, under the influence of extreme heat and pressure, gaseous hydrogen fuel becomes a plasma—the very environment in which hydrogen atoms can be brought to fuse and yield energy. (You can read more on this particular state of matter here.) The charged particles of the plasma can be shaped and controlled by the massive magnetic coils placed around the vessel; physicists use this important property to confine the hot plasma away from the vessel walls. The term "tokamak" comes to us from a Russian acronym that stands for "toroidal chamber with magnetic coils."
First developed by Soviet research in the late 1960s, the tokamak has been adopted around the world as the most promising configuration of magnetic fusion device. ITER will be the world's largest tokamak—twice the size of the largest machine currently in operation, with ten times the plasma chamber volume
the future of energy very bright.
