China’s 'Artificial Sun' Breaks Fusion Density Limit, Advancing Clean Energy

China's 'artificial sun' reactor, EAST, has broken a major fusion limit by maintaining plasma stability at densities 1.3 to 1.65 times beyond the Greenwald Limit, advancing nuclear fusion research and bringing humanity closer to potential clean, limitless energy. This achievement, published in Science Advances, demonstrates progress in overcoming key challenges in fusion technology, which could inform future reactors like ITER.

"From Chilly to Wet: Weather Whiplash Forecast for the South and East Next Week"

A shift in the jet stream will bring heavy rainfall and a flood threat to the South and East, with potential record warmth in the East. The pattern will also bring some snow and ice to the Midwest early in the week, with rain expected across the Plains, South, and Ohio Valley. Flooding is possible from the Upper Texas coast to the Gulf coasts of Alabama and Mississippi, with isolated flooding possible almost daily somewhere in the South. The pattern will also bring a big change in temperatures, with some potential record warmth in the East.

"Advancements in Tokamak Plasma Rotation and Transport Code"

Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a new computational code, named TransROTA, for analyzing plasma rotation and transport in tokamak devices like the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST). The code enhances the prediction of ion velocities and the understanding of angular momentum balance in toroidally rotating tokamak plasmas, which is crucial for controlling instabilities and improving the performance of fusion experiments. The improved code is more resistant to numerical instability and is user-friendly, offering a valuable tool for theoretical and simulation research in fusion energy.
