It's not something that will happen tomorrow, but it's an incredibly exciting time for nuclear fusion, with W 7-X officially competing with France's ITER tokamak reactor - both of which have been able to trap plasma for long enough for fusion to occur.

ITER hasn't been built yet and although it is located in France it is an international project. Errors like this make me wonder about the quality of the whole article.

I saw this on Phys.org 2 days prior, but I think it's somewhat of a given that these science news sites are for all intents and purposes content farms - their primary utility is for surfacing interesting bits that you can do your own followup/research on. To their credit, they do link to the original open access report.

Also "2D magnetic field" indicates complete bullshit. Can we remove this post?
