The race to repeatable fusion ignition

New Capabilities

Merged with Trump Media in $6B deal, planning 50 MWe utility-scale plant construction in 2026

On June 22, 2025, their THOR design—deliberately adding windows that leak crucial energy—generated 2.4 megajoules of fusion power at the National Ignition Facility. The shot created burning plasma, a self-sustaining reaction where fusion itself drives more fusion. It was ignition with a scientific instrument built in.
