Recently, reporters from the Xinhua News Agency visited Startorus Fusion to gain an in-depth understanding of the company's nuclear fusion technology. The energy generated by the sun comes from the continuous nuclear fusion reactions occurring within it. If we can "create an artificial sun" on Earth, it would not only allow humanity to completely overcome the energy crisis but also greatly improve the environmental issues faced by the planet. Startorus Fusion has chosen a spherical tokamak design based on high-temperature superconductivity. They utilize the method of magnetic reconnection heating of plasma to operate the nuclear fusion device and have made significant progress in miniaturizing and commercializing this technology. Startorus Fusion remains committed to driving the development of nuclear fusion technology and contributing to the construction of a clean and efficient energy future.
The following is the full text of the report:All things grow with the sun,
The sun shines and heats up due to its internal nuclear fusion reactions;
With one on Earth,
Humanity would have the potential to achieve energy independence.
In the mid-20th century, research on nuclear fusion energy began.
In the 1970s, China embarked on the dream of creating an "artificial sun."
After several generations of researchers working tirelessly,
China has now built a series of experimental devices called "EAST" (Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak) and "China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor",
achieving significant milestones in the development of "artificial sun" technology

With the goal of constructing a commercially controlled nuclear fusion reactor,
Continuously advancing related technological research,
The team has chosen a spherical tokamak design based on high-temperature superconductivity,
Operating the nuclear fusion device using the method of magnetic reconnection heating of plasma,
Continuously progressing towards the miniaturization and commercialization of this technology,
Hoping that one day,
Fusion technology can be applied to power generation.
