General Fusion Achieves 1 keV Electron Temperature Milestone

General Fusion Group Ltd. announced a significant achievement in fusion energy research by reaching an electron temperature exceeding 12 million degrees Celsius (over 1 keV) on its Lawson Machine 26 (LM26) demonstration. This milestone, achieved using Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF) and in collaboration with the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA), is a world-first for their practical, low-speed compression approach. The company aims to commercialize fusion energy by the mid-2030s, with LM26 designed to reach further milestones, including 10 keV and the Lawson criterion. This development is seen as a crucial step towards delivering reliable, economical, and clean baseload power from fusion.
