According to a study published in the journal Nature Communications, an international team of researchers discovered 1.2-billion-year-old groundwater deep in a gold- and uranium-producing mine in South Africa. Earth’s Oldest Remaining Groundwater, Aged at 1.2 Billion Years Old, Discovered in South Africa.

The largest earthquake ever detected on Mars has revealed layers in its crust that could indicate past collision with a massive object, such as a meteoroid. Previous data have suggested the past occurrence of a large impact, and the findings offer evidence that might support this hypothesis. Marsquake: Largest Quake of 4.7 Magnitude Detected in Mars, Reveals Possible Past Meteoroid Impact.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) announced on Tuesday that a team from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) conducted the first controlled fusion experiment in history at the laboratorys National Ignition Facility (NIF) on December 5.

The artificial sun could theoretically provide unlimited source of energy or artificial solar energy.

China has completed work on a key component of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), also known as the world's biggest "artificial sun".

Manufacturing of the core components of the next-generation “artificial sun,” the full-size prototype of the enhanced-heat-flux (EHF) first wall (FW) panel, has been completed in China with its core indexes being significantly better than its design requirements and meeting the conditions for mass manufacturing, marking a new breakthrough by China in the scientific research of the core technology of EHF FW, the Global Times learned from its research team on Tuesday.

China's ambitions to generate near-limitless clean power through nuclear fusion energy appear to be getting traction, with the country's leading nuclear scientist predicting that the nation will achieve nuclear fusion energy within the next six years.
