## Answers

### Answer by Stuti Gupta

> **China has completed a nuclear fusion operation intending to create an artificial sun.**

\
The **Hefei Institute of Physical Science** is conducting this experiment, which is known as the **Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST)**. **[China](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/93092/should-india-show-its-real-position-to-china-and-pakistan)** has already spent almost 6 billion yuan on this large-scale experiment in which exceptionally high temperatures have been used to boil hydrogen isotopes, fusing them and producing energy. \

In a recent test, the gadget setup was a fusion reactor that functioned for about 20 minutes at a mind-boggling 70 million degrees Celsius. The machine aims to **harness the power of nuclear fusion, a less researched method of generating nuclear [energy](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/95945/energy-conservation-week-is-observed-every-year-in-which-month)**. The arrangement is designed to imitate nuclear events that occur within the sun, where **hydrogen and deuterium gases** are employed as fuel. These studies might help researchers go one bit closer to 'unlimited renewable power.'
