Could powerful lasers unlock cheap fusion power?
undefined 10, 2024
In the 1980s, the US conducted secret nuclear fusion experiments in Nevada, sparking interest in fusion’s potential for clean energy. Recently, Xcimer, founded by Conner Galloway and Alexander Valys, is developing more powerful lasers to advance fusion technology. Their goal is to build a working fusion reactor by the mid-2030s, using lasers that could deliver up to 20 megajoules of energy. Xcimer has raised $100 million to fund initial experiments, with hopes to revolutionize clean energy.
