This past year saw the commissioning and initial operation of a new large-scale plasma experiment, the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) in Greifswald, Germany. Designed, constructed, and operated by the Max-Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) with an international team of collaborators, the device is impressive. But, the worldwide fusion research community, which aims to develop an environmentally benign and abundant source of energy, is finding W7-X's initial plasma results yet more impressive.
