Commercializing laser-driven fusion energy by 2030s will ‘take entire village’
Putting carbon-free laser-driven fusion energy on the grid by the 2030s will require building out a supply chain ecosystem within the photonics industry.
Five Enabling Technologies A Fusion Industry Will Need
Fusion energy needs more than a sustained fusion reaction before it can help the world produce sufficient carbon-neutral energy. The U.S. Department of Energy has identified a research and development agenda for a suite of technologies and processes to enable fusion.
Amid renewed interest in nuclear fusion, Japan’s research reaches critical stage
NAKA, IBARAKI PREF. – Scientist Shunsuke Ide points to the large screen in the control room of the JT-60SA, a giant device for nuclear fusion experiments in a rural municipality northeast of Tokyo that is preparing for its first run. A demonstration video shows how the plasma crucial to the process is generated.
