Core Viewpoint - China has officially launched an international scientific program in the field of nuclear fusion, focusing on plasma physics research and aiming to achieve energy output greater than energy consumption, with the goal of demonstrating fusion energy generation [1][2]. Group 1: Nuclear Fusion Research - The international scientific program will leverage China's superconducting tokamak team to address the challenges of fusion combustion physics, emphasizing the importance of collaboration among global scientists [2]. - The BEST (Broadly Enhanced Superconducting Tokamak) device is set to become China's next-generation "artificial sun," with plans to conduct deuterium-tritium combustion plasma experiments by the end of 2027, targeting fusion power output between 20 megawatts and 200 megawatts [1][2]. Group 2: Global Collaboration - The program will open multiple nuclear fusion scientific platforms, including BEST, to global researchers, establishing an open research fund to facilitate frequent expert exchanges [2]. - Scientists from over ten countries, including France, the UK, and Germany, have signed the "Hefei Fusion Declaration," promoting the spirit of open sharing and collaborative win-win cooperation in fusion research [2].
