#plasma $XPL @Plasma On the road to exploring endless energy, plasma technology represents the ultimate answer. The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) program, a collaboration of 35 countries, is attempting to replicate the energy mechanism of the sun on Earth—by using a powerful toroidal magnetic field to 'suspend' deuterium-tritium plasma at over 150 million degrees Celsius in a vacuum, achieving sustained and controllable nuclear fusion reactions. In 2022, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the United States achieved a breakthrough in 'net energy gain,' briefly igniting a micro 'artificial sun.' Although the commercial path still faces major challenges such as plasma turbulence control and material endurance, China's 'artificial sun' EAST device has achieved 403 seconds of steady-state long-pulse high-confinement operation, a technology regarded as 'humanity's ultimate energy.'
