Sept 15 — Xin'ao Fusion began construction of the Helong‑2 spheromak
hydrogen–boron plasma platform at its R&D center in the Langfang Economic &
Technological Development Zone. The project covers about 120 mu (~8 ha) and will
build more than ten core systems to establish a global‑leading hydrogen–boron
fusion experimental platform. Timeline: park to be ready for equipment delivery
by end‑June 2027; device construction, commissioning and entry into the
experimental phase by end‑2027; target to achieve first hydrogen–boron fusion
