Description: 

China has achieved a new world record in its development of a “man-made sun”, a fusion energy reactor. Scientists managed to sustain the reactor, at the extreme temperature of 70 million degrees Celsius for 1,056 seconds. In May, scientists also made a breakthrough, when they were able to achieve a plasma temperature of 120 million degrees Celsius for 101 seconds. China’s development of an “artificial” sun is part of its mission to find solutions to create limitless clean energy. 

Transcription:

China has made new progress in its development of a ' man- made sun'. The 'suns' are fusion energy reactors. Scientists hope they can create to provide an endless supply of clean energy. They work by stimulating the nuclear fusion process in the sun. When two atoms fuse under extremely high temperatures, they create colossal amounts of energy. This 'sun' was able to sustain temperature as high as 70 million degrees Celsius for 1, 056 seconds. This is a new world record. In May, Chinese scientist also made a new breakthrough. They achieved a plasma temperature of 120 millions degrees Celsius for 101 seconds. 

Questions: 

1. What has China achieved a new world record?

2. What does the 'sun' was able to sustain?

3. What did Chinese scientist made a new breakthrough in May?
