The Institute of Plasma Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (ASIPP), based in Hefei in Anhui Province, reports having reached a milestone in magnetic confinement fusion. Experiments conducted on the EAST (Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak) tokamak reportedly exceeded the Greenwald density limit, a physical threshold long considered a major constraint for fusion devices. The results were published in the journal Science Advances.
