Do androids dream of fusion generators?

It’s been called a fantasy, a pipe dream, a quixotic quest whose goal is always ten years away. And yet, there are those convinced that scalable fusion power generation could become a reality, allowing humanity to harness the energy of mini-suns, dramatically changing how we produce power.

As CEO of TAE Technologies, the world’s largest private fusion reactor company, Michl Binderbauer is one of those who believes that fusion power could be on the near horizon - and is using artificial intelligence co-developed with Google to help make it a reality.

Twisty fusion reactor goes online after 19 years of work

After 19 years of work and $1.3 billion, the Wendelstein 7-X fusion reactor is officially contributing to energy science.
Germany just took fusion power one big, important step forward. The country's Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics has just switched on Wendelstein 7-X, the first large fusion reactor based on a twisty stellarator design.
