WHAM! Nuclear fusion experiment hits new world record for magnet strength

Good news! The struggle for nuclear fusion power continues!

"A nuclear fusion experiment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has set a record for the strongest steady magnetic field confining a plasma, ushering in new hope that forthcoming demonstration reactors will deliver on their promises to produce more power than they consume.
The new magnets came from Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS), a pioneering startup in the fusion industry which delivered the devices to UW-Madison’s WHAM experiment earlier this month. ..."
