Spanish government decided to provide 500 million euros for a new magnetic fusion experimental reactor.
WISER 5 - the new stellarator im Madrid - will improve on the results from #Wendelstein7X and will provide even better confinement of energy. This is an important step of Spain towards fusion reactor. #Science #fusion

Europe was pushing stellarator research, when US and Asia gave up focusing mostly on tokamaks. #Wendelstein7X - stellarator working in Greifswald - delivered such spectacular results that it started renaissance of stellarator research in the world. There are three major new projects following W7X - one in US, and two in Germany. This is a fourth one. I am so happy about that.
