Recently, the advanced field-reversed magnetic mirror fusion device FLAME, developed by a company empowered by the University of Science and Technology of China, has been completed and is about to undergo its first discharge. When it comes to "artificial sun," people often think of Tokamak, which is like a "top supercar" that requires expensive superconducting materials and has extremely high costs. In contrast, the FLAME device is like an efficient "energy baguette," following the "field-reversed configuration" fusion path, costing only one-tenth to create a "small sun." (CCTV News)
