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.
So...practical commercial fusion is still 50 years way (just like it's been for the past 60 years), right?

Size is not problem, gravity is. All you need is a small black hole in a box, supply hydrogen into the box, and fusion will be sustained near black hole's event horizon.

Creating a black hole is not a problem either. Keeping a *stable* one of reasonable size is.
