In this week’s edition of The Prototype, we look at new advances in fusion power, how the new budget bill undermines clean ...

Right now, everyone is drooling over AI – and rightfully so. Artificial intelligence is already rewriting the rules of work, ...

On May 22, the latest experimental campaign concluded at the world's most powerful nuclear fusion device of the stellarator type. Through collaboration between researchers from Europe and the U.S ...

But they ripped it up and started again with Polaris, its seventh. Both employ Magneto-Inertial fusion, a combination of inertial and magnetic confinement the company says is smaller and lower cost.

General Fusion has been working on the MTF concept for over 20 years. Last fall, the company published the first results of experiments showing that the concept could work.

Most fusion startups are pursuing one of two approaches: inertial confinement, where lasers compress fuel pellets to ignite fusion pulses, and magnetic confinement, where large magnets corral ...
