    HEFEI, Jan. 20 (Xinhua) — The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), dubbed China’s “artificial sun,” maintained a steady-state high-confinement plasma operation for a remarkable 1,066 seconds on Monday, setting a new world record and marking a breakthrough in the quest for fusion power generation.

    The duration of 1,000 seconds is considered a key step in fusion research. The breakthrough, achieved by the Institute of Plasma Physics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (ASIPP), greatly improved the original world record of 403 seconds, which was also set by EAST in 2023.

    The ultimate goal of an artificial sun is to create nuclear fusion like the sun, providing humanity with an endless, clean energy source, and enabling space exploration beyond the solar system.

    Global scientists have worked for more than 70 years on trying to achieve this feat. However, only after reaching temperatures over 100 million degrees Celsius, sustaining stable long-term operation, and ensuring controllability can a nuclear fusion device successfully generate electricity.

    “A fusion device must achieve stable operation at high efficiency for thousands of seconds to enable the self-sustaining circulation of plasma, which is critical for the continuous power generation of future fusion plants,” said Song Yuntao, ASIPP director. He emphasized that the fresh record is of monumental significance, representing a crucial step toward the development of a fusion reactor.

    Gong Xianzu, head of the division of EAST Physics and Experimental Operations, said they have upgraded several EAST systems since the last round of experiments. For example, the heating system, which previously operated at the equivalent of nearly 70,000 household microwave ovens, has now doubled its power output while also maintaining stability and continuity.

    Since starting operation in 2006, EAST has been an open test platform for Chinese and international scientists to conduct fusion-related experiments and research.

    China officially joined the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) program in 2006 as its seventh member. According to the agreement, China is responsible for about 9 percent of the project’s construction and operation — and ASIPP is the main unit of the Chinese mission.

    ITER, which is under construction in southern France, will be the world’s largest magnetic confinement plasma physics experiment device and the largest experimental tokamak nuclear fusion reactor, once completed.

    In recent years, EAST has continuously achieved groundbreaking milestones in the high confinement mode, which serves as the fundamental mode for experimental fusion reactors, including ITER and the future China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR), providing valuable references for the construction of fusion reactors worldwide.

    “We hope to expand international collaboration via EAST and bring fusion energy into practical use for humanity,” said Song.

    In Hefei, east China’s Anhui Province, where EAST is located, a new generation of experimental fusion research facilities is under construction — aiming to further accelerate the application and development of fusion energy. ■

  • China’s “Artificial Sun” Breaks New Record In Longest Sustained Ultra-Hot Plasma


    The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), known as the “Artificial Sun”, is China’s cutting-edge fusion reactor. Over the last several years, it has consistently broken fusion records, and it can now add a new one to its collection: the longest sustained ultra-hot plasma. They kept it going for 1,066 seconds – that’s 17 minutes and 46 seconds of plasma well beyond 100 million degrees.

    As reported by Xinhua, the Chinese state media agency, the achievement happened on Monday, January 20, 2025, led by researchers from the Institute of Plasma Physics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Back in May 2023, EAST had achieved its previous record of 403 seconds for its ultra-hot plasma. The temperature of this was in the past defined as over 160 million degrees Celsius (288 million degrees Fahrenheit), although if this was the temperature achieved this time it has not yet been disclosed.

    EAST previously sustained a plasma of 120 million degrees Celsius (216 million degrees Fahrenheit) for an incredible 1,056 seconds back on December 30, 2021, so no matter which temperature was reached above the 100 million degree mark, the new record is the officially longest sustained ultra-hot plasma. This demonstration is an important step forward in fusion reactors becoming a consistent energy source.

    These temperatures are much higher than the cores of stars where fusion is constantly happening. Stars can count on the pressure to hold hydrogen (usually) together so it can fuse at a lower temperature. The hydrogen or helium in reactors has a much lower density, so the plasma needs higher temperatures and it needs to be kept going for a long time – otherwise, you are not going to get the consistent output you’d want from a commercial power plant.

    “A fusion device must achieve stable operation at high efficiency for thousands of seconds to enable the self-sustaining circulation of plasma, which is critical for the continuous power generation of future fusion plants,” Song Yuntao, ASIPP director, told Xinhua.

    China is a member of the ITER collaboration, together with the European Union, India, Japan, Russia, South Korea, and the United States. The full-scale nuclear fusion power plant was expected to see its first plasma later this year, but it is now expected for 2034. Experimental reactors such as EAST, as well as many others across the world, are constantly refining what ITER is going to be like when it opens.

  • This Might Be the Most Underrated Artificial Intelligence Stock to Own in 2025


    Are you looking for a potentially underrated artificial intelligence (AI) stock to buy for 2025? While it may be tempting to simply invest in chipmaking giant Nvidia, given its hefty $3.3 trillion market capitalization, the returns from owning the stock this year may be limited from here. Although it’s a good buy, there may be better options for investors to consider.

    One undervalued AI stock that could be due for a strong year in 2025 is computer maker Dell Technologies (DELL 8.27%). Here’s why I see a lot of upside for the stock not just this year, but over the long haul.

    A big upgrade cycle may be overdue

    Due to challenging economic conditions and rising inflation, many consumers have held off on upgrading their phones and computers in recent years. But there could be multiple reasons for that to change this year, specifically when it comes to personal computers (PCs).

    Many AI-enabled PCs are becoming available and may give consumers a reason to finally upgrade their machines, to take advantage of next-gen technologies. Plus, an estimated 60% of Windows PCs are still running Microsoft‘s Windows 10 operating system, support for which is ending on Oct. 14. While that doesn’t mean the machines will stop working after that date, they won’t get security updates anymore, resulting in potential vulnerabilities for users who remain on the outdated operating system.

    That’s a problem because AI is equipping not only regular users with advanced capabilities, but hackers as well, and the need for consumers and businesses to keep their computers protected could provide them with an additional reason to upgrade their machines this year. While it’s possible to simply upgrade an operating system rather than buying an entirely new machine, by upgrading to a new computer, consumers can benefit from both a new operating system as well as new AI-powered capabilities; an upgrade could make the most sense. This is why a big upgrade cycle may take place this year.

    Strong PC sales could make 2025 a fantastic year for Dell

    The one area of Dell’s business that hasn’t been doing well of late is its client solutions group segment, which includes PC sales. The company last reported earnings in November and while Dell’s sales totaled $24.4 billion and grew by 10% for the quarter ended Nov. 1, 2024, that was despite softness in its client solutions group, where revenue declined by 1% to $12.1 billion. On the consumer side of that segment, sales were down by 18%.

    Dell’s strong infrastructure sales have been propping up the top line, with server and networking revenue rising by 58% during the period, coming in at $7.4 billion. For Dell, the benefit of an increase in PC sales is obvious. It will pad the company’s top line and result in a faster rate of growth, which can lead to an increase in bullishness in the stock, and stronger returns for investors.

    Dell looks like a slam-dunk buy right now

    Although 2024 wasn’t a bad year for Dell — its share price rose by 51% — the stock is still looking incredibly cheap, trading at a forward price-to-earnings multiple of 12 (based on analyst expectations). And its price/earnings-to-growth multiple of 0.6 also suggests that this can be a dirt cheap stock to buy given how much growth may be on the horizon for the business over the next five years.

    Dell’s relatively modest valuation alongside its strong server and networking sales, plus a potential catalyst waiting in the wings with respect to an upcoming PC refresh cycle, makes it easy to see why this can be a top-performing AI stock in 2025 and beyond. Dell’s a great option for investors to load up on while its value remains low.

    David Jagielski has no position in any of the stocks mentioned. The Motley Fool has positions in and recommends Microsoft and Nvidia. The Motley Fool recommends the following options: long January 2026 $395 calls on Microsoft and short January 2026 $405 calls on Microsoft. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.



    Artificial intelligence is undoubtedly one of the most transformative technologies of our time, with countless applications across industries ranging from healthcare to finance to transportation. As the AI market continues to grow, investors are constantly on the lookout for the next big AI stock to own.

    While many well-known AI companies like NVIDIA, Alphabet, and IBM dominate the headlines, there is one AI stock that may be flying under the radar but has the potential to be a major player in the industry by 2025: C3.ai.

    C3.ai is a leading enterprise AI software provider that offers a suite of AI applications for various industries, including energy, manufacturing, healthcare, and financial services. The company’s AI technology enables organizations to analyze large amounts of data, optimize processes, and make data-driven decisions.

    Despite its impressive technology and strong customer base, C3.ai is often overlooked by investors in favor of more well-known AI companies. However, with a market cap of over $10 billion and partnerships with major corporations like Shell and 3M, C3.ai is poised for significant growth in the coming years.

    As the demand for AI solutions continues to rise, C3.ai’s cutting-edge technology and industry expertise could make it one of the most underrated AI stocks to own in 2025. Investors looking to capitalize on the potential of AI should keep a close eye on C3.ai as it continues to expand its market presence and drive innovation in the AI space.

    Machine Learning: An Overview Of Artificial Intelligence

    Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly growing field that has the potential to revolutionize industries ranging from healthcare to transportation. One of the key components of AI is machine learning, a subset of AI that focuses on developing algorithms and models that can learn from and make predictions or decisions based on data.

    Machine learning algorithms can be classified into three broad categories: supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning. In supervised learning, the algorithm is trained on labeled data, meaning that the input data is paired with the correct output. The goal of the algorithm is to learn a mapping from inputs to outputs that can then be used to make predictions on new, unseen data.

    Unsupervised learning, on the other hand, involves training the algorithm on unlabeled data, meaning that the input data is not paired with the correct output. The goal of unsupervised learning is to discover hidden patterns or structures in the data, such as clustering similar data points together.

    Reinforcement learning is a type of machine learning where the algorithm learns by interacting with its environment and receiving feedback in the form of rewards or penalties. The algorithm’s goal is to learn a policy that maximizes its cumulative reward over time.

    Machine learning has a wide range of applications, including natural language processing, computer vision, healthcare, finance, and more. Companies are increasingly using machine learning algorithms to automate tasks, improve decision-making, and gain insights from large amounts of data.

    Overall, machine learning is a powerful tool that is driving the advancement of artificial intelligence and has the potential to transform industries and improve our everyday lives.

  • Prediction: These 2 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks Could Be Worth More Than Palantir by 2030


    Palantir (NASDAQ: PLTR) has gained a reputation for being one of the best artificial intelligence (AI) investments, with its stock rising a whopping 320% since the start of 2024. However, looking at its current valuation, one could argue the expectations baked into its price may not necessarily be grounded in the company’s fundamentals.

    Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. See the 10 stocks »

    Right now, Palantir is worth roughly $160 billion. However, I think there are a couple of AI stocks that could surpass Palantir in value by 2030. Those two candidates are Snowflake (NYSE: SNOW) and CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD).

    Why these two? It all has to do with valuation.

    Palantir has the least revenue growth of the three

    Palantir and its AI software, which gives clients the tools they need to help with decision making, has become very popular in the AI space. However, Palantir’s growth hasn’t been remarkable. In the third quarter, Palantir’s revenue rose 30% year over year. While that’s strong, it’s nearly identical to what Snowflake and CrowdStrike latest quarterly revenue growth has been, at 28% and 29%, respectively.

    Snowflake’s revenue growth was powered by its data cloud software platform that is necessary to store and provide data to AI models. On the other hand, CrowdStrike is a cybersecurity provider that uses AI to help determine what a threat is and what is normal activity. Obviously, from just the latest quarterly results, a true winner can’t be established.

    However, over the last three years, Palantir’s cumulative revenue grew just 61%, while Snowflake and CrowdStrike grew revenues by 180% and 158%, respectively.

    PLTR Revenue (Quarterly) Chart

    Snowflake and CrowdStrike clearly have the edge over Palantir in topline growth, and it wouldn’t be surprising if Palantir struggles to justifying its current valuation. As anticipated, the three companies are valued at wildly different levels.

    The market has given Palantir a massive premium over its peers, trading for an unbelievable 61 times trailing 12-month sales at the time of writing, which is why Palantir’s market cap is so much larger than its peers. But that price tag doesn’t seem normal, given Palantir’s growth level — even after accounting for its profitability (more on that later).

    This should be an obvious red flag for Palantir investors, as it’s unlikely to be able to maintain that valuation if its growth doesn’t accelerate. Still, there are some key reasons why Palantir is better off than CrowdStrike or Snowflake.

    Palantir is the only solidly profitable company of this trio

    One key advantage Palantir has over the other two is its profitability. Palantir is solidly profitable and has been so for some time. Snowflake and CrowdStrike haven’t been near the profitability levels Palantir has.

    This certainly gives Palantir an edge, and it accounts for some of the expensive price tag on its stock. After years of being deeply unprofitable (Snowflake) or teetering between the breakeven mark (CrowdStrike), the market may have some skepticism about whether these two can ever get over the hump and produce a solid profit margin like Palantir has. And sometimes the market can change its perception about stocks quickly, catching investors off guard.

    Having said that, Palantir has set a great example for both companies to follow. In Q2 2022, Palantir’s loss margin was a dismal 38%. However, two quarters later, in Q4 2022, Palantir broke even and has steadily improved its profitability since. If either Snowflake or CrowdStrike have a Palantir moment and deliver strong profits, I wouldn’t be surprised to see these two outperform Palantir over the next five years. Because over this period, there’s a solid chance both companies will turn profitable.

    Additionally, there’s the matter of Palantir’s very expensive stock. At the time of this writing, Palantir trades for staggering 359 times trailing earnings. Over the next five years, if Palantir maintains its 30% revenue growth rate and its 20% profit margin, that would value Palantir at 83 times trailing earnings if the stock stays at the same price it is right now.

    On the other hand, what would happen if Snowflake and CrowdStrike could flip the switch and were profitable like Palantir? At today’s stock prices and revenue, if Snowflake and CrowdStrike were currently profitable mirroring Palantir’s 20% profit margin, the two would’ve been trading for only 83 times and 118 times trailing earnings, respectively, right now.

    While, no doubt, both companies still have a ways to go before reaching Palantir’s profit levels, it also shows that they are far cheaper stocks than Palantir is, and with five years’ worth of growth ahead of them, it’s highly likely they’ll catch up in value with Palantir.

    By 2030, I think that Snowflake and CrowdStrike will be worth far more than Palantir. This should likely occur through a combination of CrowdStrike and Snowflake achieving profitability, and Palantir’s valuation falling to a reasonable level.

    Regardless, if you think Snowflake and CrowdStrike can achieve profitability over the next five years (like I do), they appear as a far better option to buy right now than Palantir.

    As artificial intelligence continues to revolutionize industries and reshape the way we live and work, investors are constantly on the lookout for promising AI stocks with significant growth potential. One company that has been making waves in the AI space is Palantir Technologies, known for its data analytics and AI-powered solutions.

    However, there are two other AI stocks that could potentially surpass Palantir in terms of market value by 2030. The first is NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA), a leading provider of graphics processing units (GPUs) that are essential for AI applications. NVIDIA’s GPUs are widely used in AI training and inference, making the company a key player in the AI ecosystem. With its strong track record of innovation and robust growth prospects, NVIDIA could see its stock price soar in the coming years.

    Another AI stock to watch is Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL), the parent company of Google. Google has been at the forefront of AI research and development, leveraging its vast trove of data and advanced algorithms to create cutting-edge AI products and services. With its diverse revenue streams and dominant market position, Alphabet is well positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for AI technologies.

    Both NVIDIA and Alphabet have the potential to outperform Palantir and become top players in the AI industry by 2030. Investors looking to capitalize on the AI revolution should keep a close eye on these two stocks as they continue to innovate and expand their AI capabilities.

  • Challenges and Opportunities: Navigating artificial intelligence and equity investing


    Optimisation

    In finance, optimisation refers to the process of finding the best solution for a particular problem subject to a set of constraints. In quantitative equity investing this technique is used in portfolio construction, to find the optimal portfolio that aims to maximise the expected return while minimising risk.

    An example of a simple optimisation problem is for instance: if someone was organising a party, what is the optimal number of pizzas, cakes and drinks they should order? We can solve this with our brains, relying on experience and the back of an envelope to do some simple calculations.

    But in finance, if we wanted to build a portfolio of 100 stocks from the S&P 500, there is an almost infinite number of combinations.

    The optimiser can find the optimal portfolio in the risk-return space, searching through the endless number of possible portfolios until it finds the best possible combination of stocks that should deliver the best outcome.

    But this is not new technology. To find the optimal portfolio the optimiser uses the Lagrange multiplier method. This method was first published in 1806 by an Italian mathematician, Joseph-Louis Lagrange. The technique involves introducing a new variable (the Lagrange multiplier) for each constraint in the optimisation problem and forming a new function called the Lagrangian.

    Then by taking the partial derivatives of the Lagrangian the optimiser has directions on which way to look for the solution, without having to check each of the almost infinite possible combinations.  These techniques play a crucial role in improving model performance in ML, from feature selection and tuning to minimising the loss function. 



    In today’s rapidly evolving financial landscape, the intersection of artificial intelligence and equity investing presents both challenges and opportunities for investors. As AI technology continues to advance, it is becoming increasingly integral to the investment process, offering new ways to analyze data, identify trends, and make more informed decisions.

    However, with the rise of AI in investing comes a host of challenges. One of the main concerns is the potential for bias in AI algorithms, which can lead to unintended consequences and unfair outcomes. It is crucial for investors to be aware of these biases and take steps to mitigate them in order to ensure fair and equitable investment practices.

    On the flip side, AI also presents numerous opportunities for investors looking to gain a competitive edge in the market. By harnessing the power of AI-driven analytics and predictive modeling, investors can uncover hidden patterns and insights that may not be apparent through traditional methods. This can lead to more accurate forecasts, better risk management, and ultimately, higher returns on investment.

    In navigating the complex landscape of artificial intelligence and equity investing, it is imperative for investors to stay informed, remain vigilant against bias, and constantly adapt to new technologies and methodologies. By embracing AI as a tool to enhance decision-making processes, investors can position themselves for success in an increasingly data-driven and competitive market.
