New design could finally help to bring fusion power closer to reality

> It's an old joke that many fusion scientists have grown tired of

> But now, finally, the joke may no longer be true: Advances in magnet
> technology have enabled researchers at MIT to propose a new design
> for a practical compact tokamak fusion reactor—and it's one that
> might be realized in as little as a decade, they say. The era of
> practical fusion power, which could offer a nearly inexhaustible
> energy resource, may be coming near.
