China has completed a 582-tonne superconducting magnet for its “Artificial Sun” fusion project, NDTV reports. The magnet is described as a record and marks a step towards China’s goal of demonstrating fusion-powered electricity generation by 2030. Fusion research seeks to reproduce the process that powers the Sun. The completion of the magnet does not itself demonstrate that the project can generate electricity. China’s stated 2030 target will depend on further work beyond this component, including showing that fusion can be sustained and converted into usable power.
