A team of scientists has made a major breakthrough in fusion energy technology. They’ve built the first-of-its-kind fusion experiment using permanent magnets, a surprisingly simple technique that could potentially slash the cost of future fusion power plants.

The team, based at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), pioneered a new design for a type of fusion machine called a stellarator.

Nuclear fusion power plant plan reaches 'major milestone'

First Light Fusion, in Yarnton, Oxfordshire, has increased the distance a projectile is fired into the fuel by more than ten times. The company says the development is crucial to its design for a commercial power plant. Mila Fitzgerald, a scientist at the company, called it an "exciting step".

Can't be far away for commercial fusion now, a decade perhaps?

In the 70+ years I've been alive, commercial fusion has always been 30 years away.
