Promising, maybe we’ll see a working fusion reactor in 30 years.
Don’t know if the Left wants a solution to energy though, if Fusion became a thing, they would shut it down immediately because it would be too beneficial to civilization.
Fusion, the power source of the future...and it always will be.

So we are sharing everything with the PRC and Iran?
“Fusion Power Breakthrough: New Method for Eliminating Damaging Heat Bursts in Toroidal Tokamaks”
Damn, I got scooped!
mmmph!!
That COVID scam isnt’ gonna pay off too well at all...lets trot out the “fusion is just around the next 30 billion dollar corner” now scam
With a breakthrough like this, fusion power is probably only 25 years away ...
What the lame-brains in academia are too stupid to grasp is that free market capitalism is what makes such miracles of scientific discovery possible.
Waiting for a working fusion reactor is like waiting for a DOJ indictment. Tick tick....
Wow thank God I caught this early this morning. Now I can eat breakfast without worrying :-)
Socialism will work this time!
Islam is a peaceful religion.
Indictments coming soon
Fusion power is only 20 years away!
I will still respect you in the morning.
Thought it was done already. I saw it as a home device in a movie somewhere.
I believe that IF we found a way to create abundant, clean energy in a way that didn’t require massive facilities, it would be suppressed for safety.
Imagine a world where you had the power of fusion in a coffee grinder like in back to the future. Terrorists would be able to create massive energy bursts anywhere, any time.
Not long ago there was a great but lengthy article by an experienced nuclear physicist who had years in fusion research PROVING conclusively why fusion would never work in the real world.
The energy requirements/demand just to start the process - let alone maintain it - are beyond imagination, and cost.
Let me know if you want me to find it and post it.
A lot of silly comments re. Fusion Energy. I take a contrary view of it and show an analogy.
Through most of maritime history, ocean navigators could not determine exactly where they were. It was first by dead reckoning then later they could use something as simple as a knotted string on a stick to measure the angle of the sun to the horizon at local noon. This meant they could sail a constant latitude line from point A to point B as long as both points had a knot on their string. Longitude was impossible to measure except for infrequent fixes via a solar or lunar eclipse.
This void in ability was not really solved until about the 1700s, a functional chronometer grade clock was developed that was accurate and durable enough for shipboard use. One of these days, a controllable and practical fusion reactor will be developed.
More models as science.
Yes models are useful tools but models only make PREDICTIONS. If you are a fan of the scientific method, this is only the equivalent of a hypothesis. In other words .... it is NOT a breakthrough. To qualify as a breakthrough, the prediction has to be verified by real world observable evidence.
Understand that I am not lamenting the model. What I am complaining about is that what now passes for science is just conjecture, speculation and prediction, not actual provable and repeatable outcomes.

Didn’t Tesla perfect this tech in the early 1900’s?
PPPL?
Is that still Princeton the primary Tokamak researcher?
I’ll bet Lyndon Larouche is dancing in his grave over the news.
This is Hu. And prolly Series, as well.
They had me a Donut shaped...
