Paragraph 1
China has set a
for creating the highest heat ever recorded. Scientists created
of up to 70,000,000ºC in an "artificial sun". The new
was for keeping the heat at a temperature that is five times hotter than the sun. It did this for more than 17 minutes. The
heat was created in a nuclear fusion
. The reactor is
of the Experimental Advanced Super-conducting Tokamak project (EAST). It reproduces the
reactions that happen inside our sun and other
. The scientists want to develop the artificial sun to create a near-
supply of clean energy. The EAST project has cost China more than $950 billion. Total costs will run over $1
this year.
