The experimental advanced superconducting tokamak (EAST), or the Chinese "artificial sun",
先进实验超导托卡马克装置(EAST),也就是中国的“人造太阳”,
achieved a steady-state high confinement plasma operation for 403 seconds on Wednesday,
在周三实现了403秒的稳态高约束模等离子体运行,
a key step toward the development of a fusion reactor.
这是朝着聚变反应堆发展迈出的关键一步。
The breakthrough, achieved after more than 120,000 shots, greatly improved the original world record of 101 seconds, which was set by EAST in 2017.
这一突破是在超过12万次实验后实现的,大大提高了EAST在2017年创造的101秒的世界纪录。
The ultimate goal of EAST, located at the Institute of Plasma Physics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Hefei,
位于中国科学院合肥等离子体物理研究所的EAST,其最终目标是,
is to create nuclear fusion like the sun, using substances abundant in the sea to provide a steady stream of clean energy.
创造像太阳一样的核聚变反应,利用海洋中丰富的物质提供源源不断的清洁能源。
"EAST has broken a world record once again.
“EAST再次打破了世界纪录。
It marks a big step for us toward realizing the application of fusion energy."
这标志着我们在实现核聚变能应用方面迈出了一大步。”
