How about fusion power and room temperature superconductors...
ITER is still well under way as far as fusion goes. I doubt room temp super conductors will ever be a thing though. If we can get a metalic material which superconducts above the boiling point of nitrogen then that will be world changing enough.
LOL. ITER is not and has never been meant to be a fusion power plant. That would be DEMO.
Don't hold your breath.

Fusion power will never, ever happen. Ever.
Look at CFS SPARC, not ITER
They will have an actual functioning fusion machine with Q>10 by end of this year thanks to high temperature superconductors that were not available when ITER started

Thanks for the laugh!
I've put a note in my calendar for December 2025.
