The article from December 2019 is the journal published version of the preprint published in January 2019. The results are quite interesting.

TAE Technologies has been able to get funding for their spin-off technology. This is a positive development that TAE Technology is able to attract funding both for their main fusion task and also for one of their spin-off projects. TAE Life Sciences Secures $30M in Initial B Round Phase to Accelerat...

CFS has raised $84 million so in total their funding amounts to $200 million: https://cfs.energy/press/commonwealth-f ... n-a2-round.

JT-60 turned into JT-60U and now the latest phase JT-60SA has been finished: http://qedfusion.org/FPA/fpn20-30.shtml.

Jonathan Tennenbaum has written a series of articles which are rather detailed on the idea of hydrogen-boron fusion proposed by professor Heinrich Hora. Some of the material is probably very familiar for readers of TP, but the articles give a very nice general and accessible introduction to this int...

The third ARPA-E fusion programme is called GAMOV https://arpa-e.energy.gov/?q=arpa-e-programs/gamow. It will be interesting to see to whom the $30 million will be awarded.

This is another nice fusion research funding initiative: Department of Energy Announces $50 Million for Fusion Energy R&D

Here is a recent paper by General Fusion: Stable compression of a spherical tokamak plasma Abstract An analysis of toroidal plasma compression by a collapsing flux conserver reveals linearly stable scenarios of operation to high compression ratios. The resistive and ideal MHD stability is calculated...

Hello Joe! Many thanks Joe for bringing the site back up again! It has indeed been a long time since the problem started and much has happened since then. I look very much forward to be able to share and learn about the progress in fusion during the past months on Talk-Polywell. It is great to have ...
