> Researchers at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory have found the solution, Interesting Engineering revealed: sprinkling boron powder into the plasma and allowing it to form a coating on the tungsten walls.

Yes, this is good, finally getting somewhere with fusion.
However, perhaps zero point energy is on the way, too.

Scientists are getting closer to functioning, sustainable fusion energy, and they've just taken another big step: finding a way to prevent material on the chamber walls from interfering in the reaction, Interesting Engineering reports.

Scientists were facing a problem. A fusion reaction needs superheated plasma to work. Experiments have revealed that tungsten is a durable material that is good for containing that plasma, and the plasma-containing device — called a tokamak — was built with tungsten walls.
