„Scientists Are Now 43 Seconds Closer to Producing Limitless Energy“
„As plasma was heated with microwaves over those record-breaking 43 seconds, the fuel injector provided the stellarator with 90 pellets of frozen hydrogen ions. The microwave heating system used electron cyclotron resonance—the most effective method for fusion, which uses electromagnetic waves to heat and ionize plasma to temperatures that (in this case) reached a scorching 30 million degrees Celsius (about 54 million degrees Fahrenheit). Because success depended on balancing heating with pulses of incoming fuel, the pellet injector was programmed with automatic pulse rates, which is an unprecedented move.“ #Wendelstein7X #Greifswald #fusionenergy #stellarator
I loved our inflatable SPARC (the tokamak we're building now to demonstrate net fusion energy and pave the way for our ARC fusion power plants). This was at an inspiring (for me at least) Commonwealth Fusion Systems all-hands meeting. The inflatable incarnation of SPARC was fun, but our work on the actual SPARC is very real. #FusionEnergy #Science
Plasma-Beats auf der Expo 2025 Osaka: ASDEX-Upgrade-Daten wurden zu audivisueller Show
Ein Berliner Künstlerduo entwarf aus Messimpulsen von ASDEX Upgrade eine monumentale Sound- und Lichtshow. Die @iter_organization zeigte sie am 13. Juli im Rahmen des Fusion Energy Day im japanischen Osaka.

UK Scientists Achieve First Commercial Tritium Production! 
Classic fusion paradox: you need fusion fuel to make fusion work, but you need fusion to make the fuel. Astral Systems just cracked this chicken-and-egg problem by breeding tritium in their own reactor - addressing the global shortage that's been blocking fusion progress.
Still think we'll have commercial fusion in "just 10 more years"? 
Google pre-orders 200MW of fusion energy that doesn't exist yet 
It's like buying tickets to a concert that might happen in 2030, except this one could power 200,000 homes and save the planet. Big Tech's clean energy hunger is driving some fascinating bets on tomorrow's tech!
Cool-as-heck thing I learned about Commonwealth Fusion Systems cranes in Tokamak Hall: why we have two of them instead of just one with a higher lifting capacity. This is one of my favorite bits of CFS engineering trivia.

Wendelstein 7-X erreicht neuen Bestwert
Am 22. Mai endete die aktuelle Experimentkampagne an der weltweit leistungsfähigsten Kernfusionsanlage vom Typ Stellarator. Durch Zusammenarbeit von europäischen und US-Forschenden erzielte Wendelstein 7-X einen Weltrekord beim zentralen Parameter der Fusionsphysik – dem Tripelprodukt. Dieser Wert übertrifft für lange Plasmadauern die bisherigen Tokamak-Rekorde.
#fusionenergy
Am Donnerstag endeten die seit Herbst laufenden Experimentkampagnen. Nach präzise abgestimmten Plasmaläufen an Wendelstein 7-X verlässt unser internationales Team den Kontrollraum – müde, stolz und voller Enthusiasmus. Jetzt ist es an der Zeit, die Messergebnisse auszuwerten. Allein das Kamerasystem für das sichtbare Spektrum hat 200 Terabyte an Daten gesammelt.
Und die Ergebnisse? Wir halten Euch auf dem Laufenden. Bleibt dran. #kernfusion #fusionenergy @fusionincloseup
Wusstet Ihr, dass Kernfusionsplasmen mit elektromagnetischen Wellen erhitzt werden – ähnlich wie in einer Mikrowelle, nur viel stärker?
Diese Woche treffen sich 130 Spitzenwissenschaftler, Ingenieure und Industrievertreter aus aller Welt im Schloss Hohenkammer bei München auf der Topical Conference on Radio-Frequency Power in Plasmas (RFPPC). Sie diskutieren, wie Fortschritte auf ihrem Gebiet die Fusionsforschnung voranbringen können. #fusionenergy #RFPPC2025 #kernfusion
It may not be in my lifetime, but with the progress they’re making I’m sure they’ll figure this out.

"Canada Just Fired Up the Future of Energy!
General Fusion has set a new world record — generating 600 million neutrons per second in a breakthrough for Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF)!
Their revolutionary tech?
Plasma is injected into a spinning sphere of liquid metal and compressed using steam-powered pistons to mimic the sun’s core.
This creates extreme conditions: over 100 million °C and powerful plasma confinement — proving fusion energy is closer than ever.
With the Lawson Machine 26 (LM26) aiming for breakeven by 2026, Canada is fast-tracking a future of clean, limitless, zero-carbon power.
Fusion isn’t coming. It’s here."
