Today, we’re diving into a breakthrough in nuclear fusion technology—one that could bring us closer to a future powered by clean, limitless energy. This breakthrough comes from Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, where physicists have developed a new computer code called QUADCOIL. This innovation could simplify and reduce the costs of stellarators, a promising type of fusion reactor. We’ll break down the science, the impact, and what this means for the future of fusion power.
