First plasma fired up at the world’s largest fusion reactor. Japan’s JT-60SA uses magnetic fields from superconducting coils to contain a blazingly hot cloud of ionized gas, or plasma, within a doughnut-shaped vacuum vessel in the hope of coaxing hydrogen nuclei to fuse and release energy. The four-story-high machine is designed to hold a plasma heated to 200 million degrees Celsius for about 100 seconds, far longer than previous large tokamaks. https://www.science.org/content/article/first-plasma-fired-world-s-largest-fusion-reactor

China's astronauts grow vegetables in orbit. The plants grown from the cultivation apparatus can absorb carbon dioxide in the air to generate oxygen with photosynthesis and then regenerate and purify water with transpiration. The system can be applied to the field of deep space exploration. https://www.space.com/china-astronauts-grow-vegetables-tiangong-space-station
