Magnetic fusion confinement with tokamaks and stellarators (Chinese Edition)

Description
The first fusion reactions in a laboratory were achieved in 1934 — a major breakthrough at the time. Today, however, achieving a fusion reaction is not particularly difficult: in 2018, a twelve-year-old entered the Guinness World Records as the youngest person to successfully create a fusion experiment at home. Unfortunately, such experiments produce bursts lasting just fractions of seconds, and achieving and sustaining these fusion reactions for prolonged periods remains a major challenge. Only by developing a steady and reliable way of producing fusion power can fusion become a commercially viable energy source.
