A Compact #FusionReactor Barely 3 Feet Across Has Hit a Huge Milestone
Fusion reactors, uniquitous durable power, ahhh the dream. It's been 30 years into the future since the 1950's. Or is it....
In the shadow of ITER, 4 companies are taking 4 practical yet very different approaches to make electricity within 5 or 10 years.
We can only hope their enthousiasm pans out.
