I think that this news about fusion should always be taken with a grain of salt. Naturally, the advances made in these fields are interesting, but this type of news of how long they manage to keep the plasma stable is basically irrelevant, since they only depend on the energy invested and therefore correspond more to marketing reasons. At the moment when the energy gained is relevant, then we can speak of real advances. Until then it is nothing more than a larger version of the fusion reactor created by a teenager in a garage a few years ago, which incidentally works for an indefinite period of time. although also without producing net energy. https://www.foxnews.com/science/teen-builds-working-nuclear-fusion-reactor-in-memphis-home
