Evidence from the plasma, the target and the materials surrounding them.
Tomorrow’s machine
A credible pilot must connect confinement to materials, fuel, maintenance, heat conversion and repeatable operation. The weakest interface can define the whole machine.
Explainer · 6 min →Milestone, Explained
NIF established a historic physics result. The next question is how target gain becomes repeatable, efficient and useful at plant scale.
Fact Check · 6 min →The Bottleneck
The first wall, blanket and high-heat-flux components are not supporting details. They set the possible lifetime of a fusion plant.
Analysis · 7 min →The hidden machine
Components inside a fusion machine will be difficult or unsafe to service by hand. Maintenance architecture therefore sets availability, component design and plant economics.
Analysis · 5 min →Market debut
General Fusion began Nasdaq trading with about $150m in reported cash. The money can finance experiments and disclosure. A power plant remains a much larger undertaking.
