Recently, the FLAME, a cutting-edge field-reversed mirror fusion device, has been successfully developed and completed in Hefei, Anhui. This remarkable achievement is the result of independent efforts by a company that has received strong support and empowerment from the University of Science and Technology of China. The device is now on the verge of its inaugural discharge. When compared to the highly expensive Tokamak 'artificial sun,' the FLAME device stands out by adopting a fusion pathway based on 'field-reversed configuration.' This innovative approach not only offers a promising alternative but also comes at a significantly lower cost—just one-tenth of that required for the Tokamak system.
