[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] THIS IS A REALY BIG DEAL -- MIT Sparc achives 20 Tesla

[L Wittig]

I should have pointed out that the Mar/Apr edition of Technology Review has
an article on the MIT/ Commonwealth Fusion Systems
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_Fusion_Systems> SPARC system.
It is available at:
https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/02/23/1045122/fusion-power-mit-startup-commonwealth/
 .
