Experts were able to simulate the mechanism that stabilizes plasma in fusion reactors. This development could take humankind one step closer to a clean, unlimited source of fusion energy.

    Lockheed's "portable" fusion is going nowhere

    Don't knock portable fusion. We're going to need it to power our blockchain phones [soylentnews.org]

    The stabilizing mechanism they've found is blockchain! Blockchain is what will make web-scale fusion possible!
