The Technologies Fueling the Future of Fusion

From high-performance magnets to advanced simulations,
@berkeleylab.lbl.gov scientists are developing essential technologies and insights to help unlock the potential of #fusionenergy. #fusionforward newscenter.lbl.gov/2025/06/12/t...

It was an honor to lead the BankInter Innovation Foundation’s Future Trends Forum, #FusionForward, which examined the potential for an almost limitless supply of clean energy if fusion becomes commercially viable. When will that happen? That’s the first question I asked participants.

Here's how fusion energy could power your home or an AI data center Fusion energy technology is advancing quickly with supercomputers and AI. One startup says it has proven technology that could work at a power plant.

“It’s going to create heat that’s going to boil water, make steam, run a turbine and put fusion electrons on the power grid on a 24/7 reliable basis,” said Type One CEO Christofer Mowry. #fusion #fusionenergy #fusionforward

'The nuclear renaissance': Wisconsin lawmakers discuss pro-nuclear energy bills Wisconsin could become a leader in nuclear technology and should consider building new nuclear reactors, scientists and lawmakers say.

“We have a unique opportunity to make Wisconsin the ‘Silicon Valley’ of nuclear energy production, nuclear energy research, nuclear energy supply chain and jobs,” said Wisconsin State Representative David Steffen. #fusionenergy #fusionforward

How the U.S. is losing ground to China in nuclear fusion, as AI power needs surge For decades, the U.S. has led the race to clean, limitless nuclear fusion energy. Now China is catching up, spending twice as much and building projects faster.

“Even though the first ones might be in the U.S., I don’t think we should take comfort in that,” said MIT’s Dennis Whyte. “The finish line is actually a mature fusion industry that’s producing products for use around the world, including in AI centers.” #fusionenergy #fusionforward
