Overview
Pursues a bold vision: taming the power of stars on Earth through fusion energy.
Develops magneto-inertial fusion technology, merging plasma at extreme speeds and capturing energy directly.
Pioneers in aneutronic fusion, recycling byproducts to generate helium-3, a sustainable fuel source.
Shifts from lab-scale to industrial-scale fusion with the Polaris device, supported by legal agreements.
Aims for rapid iteration with reactor designs capable of one pulse per second, enabling modular fusion systems.
Culture + Values
Build with urgency
Take ownership
Execute rigorously
Deliver hard truths
Environment + Sustainability
Committed to generating zero‑carbon electricity from fusion
Pulsed non‑ignition fusion approach avoids steam turbines and cooling towers by direct electricity capture
Supporting right‑sized regulation to enable safe and rapid fusion deployment
Applied for nitrogen‑based fire suppression and borated‑polyethylene shielding for safety and environmental protection
