Fudan Fusion Morning Light Experimental Device Demonstration: Bringing Future Energy from Dream to Reality
With the continued growth of global energy demand and the advancement of carbon neutrality goals, the development of clean, safe, and sustainable new energy sources has become an urgent need. Controlled nuclear fusion is hailed as the "ultimate energy source . " Deuterium - helium -3 (D- ³He ) fusion, with its virtually non-nuclear and tritium-free nature and high safety, is considered a uniquely advantageous fusion energy solution. Against this backdrop, Dongsheng Fusion, incubated by Xu Min's team at the Institute of Modern Physics at Fudan University, launched the "Chenguang Experimental Facility" project, aiming to advance D - ³He fusion from the laboratory to engineering reality.
The project involves two key technological breakthroughs: first, a high-temperature superconducting high-field magnet . Using advanced high-temperature superconducting materials, this device achieves compactness and strong magnetic field confinement, significantly improving plasma stability and fusion efficiency. This project will fill the data gap in fusion experiments under strong magnetic field conditions. Second, artificial intelligence-enabled plasma control will enable long-term, precise control and optimized operation of the plasma through AI algorithms, building an intelligent experimental platform.
Once deuterium - helium- 3 fusion technology matures, it will facilitate the construction of compact, near-user distributed fusion power plants , providing clean energy for high-energy-consuming scenarios such as cities and data centers, fundamentally addressing energy security and environmental issues. The project's findings will also empower fusion research both domestically and internationally, helping China seize the leading edge in next-generation energy technologies.

It's not surprising that China is more electrified than developed nations, considering how many EVs, high-speed trains, and related infrastructures it has.
China is striving to deeply integrate AI into its transportation system by 2030, including roads, railways, aviation, shipping, and postal services.

Celebrated mathematician Yuan Yuan returns to China after more than 20 years in US
Internationally renowned complex geometry researcher leaves New York to join Hangzhou’s ‘first class’ Westlake University as maths professor
After more than two decades in the United States, internationally recognised mathematician Yuan Yuan has returned to China as a full-time professor at Westlake University in Hangzhou.
He joined Westlake’s Institute for Theoretical Sciences in May, just months after being promoted to full professor at Syracuse University in New York, according to the university’s website.
Yuan is one of four mathematicians recruited by Westlake this summer after long careers in the US. The others are mathematical analysis expert Zhongwei Shen from the University of Kentucky, machine-learning statistician Yiyuan She from Florida State University, and applied and computational mathematician Hai Zhu from the Flatiron Institute in New York.
