Powering the next step-function change for civilization
Laser Fusion will unlock our next great chapter of growth
Laser Fusion is the only proven pathway to scientific energy gain.
Laser Fusion achieved fusion ignition in 2021, net energy gain in 2022 and continues to make repeated strides forward.
We believe that Laser Fusion and its proven results are the best path forward to a commercial fusion power plant.
Pearl™ is a fusion fuel designed for clean energy production, derived from sea water & lithium.
Our precision-engineered, mass-produced Pearl™ fuel capsules increase energy output by 30x compared to the current NIF approach.
We've built one of the only fusion fuel labs in the world to design and optimize Pearls™ for energy production.
We need to decouple energy production from resource consumption
Fusion enables energy abundance without resource limitation.
We're working to unleash the next chapter of economic growth and scientific innovation through the widespread adoption of clean, abundant fusion power.
Our Technology
The science of Laser Fusion is proven. Our focus is on the engineering challenges of optimizing the fuel and laser systems, and on developing an integrated engineering prototype to validate the engineering required for commercial energy production.
