Lots of articles and hype around Nuclear Fusion these days (dec 2022). Seems this time around it is a breakthrough of some scientific significance. A nice article from MITTech review explaining and putting results in context of current progress.
e.g. “..This is a big moment for fusion power, a basic test that the field has been striving for since researchers started dreaming about it in the 1950s. That deserves to be celebrated, and I think it’s fine to get excited about it. It’s a true milestone.
But…we need to be clear here. This is primarily a scientific achievement. Fusion has a long way to go to be a technology that we’re really using in our daily lives.”
