At the Simons Workshop, international theorists discussed designing even better stellerators.

Part of the optimisation strategy experimentally confirmed / energy losses of the plasma reduced

With newly-installed actively-cooled exhaust, Wendelstein 7-X will maintain fusion plasma for up to 30 minutes

Upgrade aims to stretch plasma discharges at high heating power to half an hour in duration.

Major advances in plasma modelling and simulation allow for predicting what a fusion plasma will do.
