- dmix 7y agoApologies I didn't phrase that right. There's been more recent work on Stellator. The book takes a longer history look at it and didn't dwell very long on modern developments. Stellator definitely took a decline in popularity at one point before making a bit of a comeback with Wendelstein 7-X and some other places.
