Nuclear Fusion’s New Idea: An Off-the-Shelf Stellarator

Cars That Think

The team’s use of permanent magnets may not be the ticket to producing commercial-scale energy, but PPPL’s accelerated design-build-test strategy could crank out new insights on plasma behavior that could push the field forward more rapidly. The Muse team designed the reactor with two independent sets of magnets. “At
