Helion has been slowly inching towards break even. Unfortunately they are extremely tight lipped about their progress. They have been even more so since the Alpha program ended. The information that I think I can disclose is putting them somewhere in the 10^20 keV * s/m3 range. Note that those are ...

The unsolved problem of fusion energy is to construct an energy producing economical fusion core. The next hard problem is to develop all new materials required by such a working fusion core. The external construction phase of the UKAEA facility for fusion material research is ready now and it will ...

There are two more articles written by Jonathan Tennenbaum on LPP Fusion:

I think it is a good thing that spin off technologies from fusion can start to generate revenue to help directly the fusion development and also indirectly by increasing the chances of new investements.

No one seems to be announcing demonstration machine build funding reached, and project initiation. Either investor cash has died of China Virus or performance targets have failed to have been reached. Smells like Fusion is in need of a China Virus ventilator and cure. General Fusion is raising the ...

There has not been much news from Helion Energy lately. Here is their job ad which tells a bit about what they are up to: Bo Cole Helion Energy | Talent Acquisition | Process Lover | Data Seeker | Relationship Builder Helion Energy is building the world’s first clean, safe, fusion energy generator t...

The article from December 2019 is the journal published version of the preprint published in January 2019. The results are quite interesting.

TAE Technologies has been able to get funding for their spin-off technology. This is a positive development that TAE Technology is able to attract funding both for their main fusion task and also for one of their spin-off projects. TAE Life Sciences Secures $30M in Initial B Round Phase to Accelerat...

CFS has raised $84 million so in total their funding amounts to $200 million: https://cfs.energy/press/commonwealth-f ... n-a2-round.
