Fusion needs a magnetic cage, and the simple ring shape leaks. So physicists handed the problem to a supercomputer and asked it for a shape that does not. What came back was this. Fifty coils, every single one a different twisted curve, each built to a tenth of a millimetre. It took nineteen years to assemble. When they finally switched it on, it held plasma at thirty million degrees, and the twist did exactly what the computer said it would. The shape was the whole answer.
