The sun is shining in China, but probably not in the way you would expect. Scientists working on the Huanliu-3 (HL-3) tokamak, a nuclear fusion device in Hefei, China, have had a breakthrough that could change the future of clean energy. The HL-3 tokamak is like an artificial sun. It uses plasma heated to 120 million degrees to create nuclear fusion, producing the same amount of energy as a star. Researchers from around the world have been trying to accomplish this type of nuclear fusion for decades.
