MIT researchers confident their fusion reactor is “very likely to work” – ZME Science

Two and a half years ago, MIT signed an agreement with a startup company to develop a precursor to a practical, emissions-free power plant. Normally, that wouldn’t draw too much attention — but that power plant is not solar nor wind, it’s something entirely different: a fusion reactor.
Producing nuclear fusion has been a dream of physicists for decades, but many didn’t even think it was possible. Now, a total of seven papers penned by 47 researchers at 12 institutions argue that not only is it …
