Breakthrough marks a significant advance in neutron-free magnetic confinement fusion research
A Chinese commercial fusion company has successfully achieved high-parameter hydrogen-boron plasma control, representing a milestone in neutron-free magnetic confinement fusion research, distinct from the deuterium-tritium fuel used by ITER.
AI-generated summary
Mainstream nuclear fusion research typically relies on deuterium-tritium fuel, as seen in the ITER project in France.
In a first, a Chinese company has achieved high-parameter hydrogen-boron plasma control, marking a “significant and valuable” advance in research into neutron-free magnetic confinement fusion.
“This marks the first time a commercial fusion company has achieved a hydrogen-boron fusion reaction on its own device,” the company stated.
Currently, mainstream-controlled nuclear fusion research, represented by the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) in France, predominantly uses deuterium-tritium (D-T) as fuel.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences has released its research blueprint for 2026-2030, prioritizing artificial intelligence, semiconductors, quantum technology, and nuclear fusion to bolster national competitiveness in global science and technology.
It was learned at the Hainan Provincial Press Conference that the scientific quality of Hainan citizens improved the fastest in the country during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. Hainan Provincial Science and Technology Association continues to help young people steadily improve their scientific quality and cultivate young reserve talents for the free trade port through measures such as creating a science popularization stage, organizing high-quality competitions, and improving policy systems.

The China Geological Survey of the Ministry of Natural Resources of the People's Republic of China announced that the "Dream" ocean drilling ship completed two well drilling in the 4,100-meter water depth of the South China Sea and successfully drilled deep ocean basin basalt samples, setting a new record for China's independent implementation of the largest operational water depth drilling. China has become the third country in the world to use a drill ship to drill deep ocean basin hard rock samples, and has established a coring operation system of the same level as international ocean drilling.

The China Meteorological Administration predicts that a strong cold air will affect Jiangnan and its northern areas from north to south at the end of September, with a local temperature drop of up to 10°C. At the same time, Jiangnan, South China and other places are still controlled by the subtropical high pressure, and there will be persistent high temperatures of 35°C and above in the next three days. There will be moderate to heavy rains and local heavy rains from West China to Jianghuai, so we need to be alert to secondary disasters.

According to the 2026 hanging sun forecast from the Central Meteorological Administration, the hanging sun phenomenon will occur on Minzu Road (west of Wenhua Road) in the West District of Chiayi City from September 29 to October 1 between 5 pm and 6 pm every day. The specific viewing time is the afternoon of September 29 From 5:11 to 5:31 pm, from 5:15 to 5:35 pm on September 30, and from 5:18 to 5:38 pm on October 1, the public is also reminded to pay attention to traffic safety and wear dark sunglasses to protect their eyesight.

my country's first ocean drilling ship "Dream" recently completed an ocean drilling test mission in the South China Sea and returned to Guangzhou. The voyage lasted 30 days and completed drilling and coring of two wells in a water depth of 4,100 meters. It successfully drilled basalt samples from the South Ocean Basin, raising my country's deep-sea drilling and coring capabilities to the 5,000-meter level. It has become the third country in the world to use drilling ships to drill hard rock samples from deep ocean basins.
