Summary:
 Can plasma be sufficiently heated inside a tokamak using only microwaves?
 New research suggests it can! Eliminating the central ohmic heating coil
 normally used in tokamaks will free up much-needed space for a more compact,
 efficient spherical tokamak.

Bye bye ITER and that otehr fusion attempt mayonaise thing

Now all I am waiting for is a 10 year old kid doing a better than break even fusion experiment in its parents kitchen...
