  This isn’t a physics breaking finding. It’s breaking the Greenwald density limit in tokamaks. Some other types of fusions reactors can go above this limit by 2-5 times.

  It’s more a limit in our understanding not a hard physical limit.

    Gotta love science reporters. "Thought to be impossible."

    "A 747 jet took off from New York's Kennedy airport this morning, accomplishing a feat once thought to be impossible."
