      There is no current actual improvement other than the possibilities. By cooling the plasma edge and using clean wall materials, they broke a theoretical density barrier that could potentially bring steady-state fusion closer to reality.

      That’s all it is. We’re no closer to steady fusion, but now we know we can push past the Greenwald limit.
