582 tonnes, 150 million°C, 60 years: WION Decodes the mind-boggling numbers behind China's new 'Artificial Sun' magnet

China tested the world’s largest superconducting fusion magnet to help create its new ‘Artificial Sun’. The 582-tonne device creates a magnetic cage to hold plasma at 150 million°C. This massive engineering project aims to generate commercial fusion power, moving Beijing closer to a future of clean, limitless energy production.
