China Just Finished Testing a 582-Ton Magnet — and Its ITER Numbers Are the Headline

China has completed testing on a 582-ton superconducting magnet, which holds triple the energy of comparable magnets built for the international ITER fusion effort. Developed by the Institute of Plasma Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, this magnet is intended for China's 'artificial sun' programs aimed at advancing fusion energy technology.
