China’s “Artificial Suns”, also known as nuclear fusion reactors, are devices being developed to replicate the process that powers our sun: nuclear fusion. Korea is also trying to build similar project.
Nuclear fusion doesn't produce greenhouse gases or long-lived radioactive waste, making it a clean and sustainable energy source.
The fuel for nuclear fusion, isotopes of hydrogen, can be extracted from water, making it a virtually limitless resource.
Because fusion fuel is abundant, it has the potential to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and the geopolitical tensions that can arise from dependence on them.
Fusion energy could provide a powerful and compact energy source for deep space exploration missions. However, there are also challenges that need to be overcome before artificial suns become a reality.
Maintaining extremely high temperatures and pressures: The conditions needed for fusion are incredibly difficult to create and sustain.
Developing efficient methods to capture the energy produced: The energy released from fusion needs to be efficiently converted into usable electricity.
