In transition: Commercializing fusion power
Commercial fusion power is closer than ever. There are now around 30 U.S. fusion companies, several of which claim to be on track to connect to the grid as early as the 2030s.
Tokamak and laser inertial confinement approaches benefit from decades of research at facilities such as the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and ITER, with alternative concepts including stellarator, magnetic mirror, and Z-pinch confinement also making notable progress as private and government funding for fusion increases.

An interpolation method is developed for functions of two variables. This approach uses semiempirical formulas with several parameters, avoiding the large data base and repetitious calculations characteristic of the usual interpolation methods. Two examples illustrate the method. In principle, the method can be extended to cases with more than two variables.
