Federal award propels Commonwealth Fusion's next-gen conductor research
An $85 million federal award lands Commonwealth Fusion Systems a major vote of confidence for its next-generation conductor research. The top-funded fusion startup is now advancing the very materials that could make commercial fusion power plants a reality. That kind of backing signals real momentum, not just hype.

Two fusion leaders map the path from breakthrough to the grid at Disrupt 2026
Fusion energy has long felt like a future that never arrives. Two leaders determined to change that, CFS' Brandon Sorbom and Helion's David Kirtley, will bring real answers to Disrupt 2026. They'll map the path from laboratory breakthrough to grid-scale power, and the obstacles still in the way.

Fusion startups find a new frontier in national security partnerships
Fusion's relationship with national security never really faded, it just went quiet. Now, startups are signing defense deals that revive that connection with fresh purpose. We see this as a practical turn, not a nostalgic one. It gives fusion a clearer path to funding and real-world urgency. If you're tracking how energy and security intersect, this is a thread worth pulling. For more on the broader clean energy push, our piece on Fluxnium's seawater uranium extraction fits neatly alongside.
Proxima Fusion invests €140M to secure its own HTS tape supply chain
Proxima Fusion is taking supply chain security into its own hands. The company announced Wednesday it will invest €140 million ($162.6 million) to build a factory producing fusion-grade high-temperature superconducting tape, the critical ingredient its reactor design depends on. That's a bold move, especially when Asian suppliers dominate this niche market. Vertical integration here isn't just strategic; it's a statement of intent.
