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?

      Nah it is the fault of all those shady professors trying to game the Big Fusion system for their own little slice of pork belly. /s

    Would you bet on fusion or practical flying cars coming first?
