• Commonwealth's new magnet, which will be one of the world's most powerful, will be a crucial component in a compact nuclear fusion reactor known as a Tokamak, a design that uses magnetic forces to compress plasma until it is hotter than the sun. The New York Times
• A company developing a nascent technology called nuclear fusion has broken ground on a new facility slated to become a critical center of testing and research into the novel power source, with hopes of taking the first world-historical steps toward a commercially viable fusion power plant. Interesting Engineering
• The UK is developing plans for a Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP), a nuclear fusion power station whose construction could begin in 2030 if costs of around £2 billion are funded. New Scientist
