General Fusion Achieves Compressional Plasma Heating with LM26 Magnetized Target Fusion Machine (opens original article in a new tab)

General Fusion achieved significant progress in fusion energy with its LM26 machine, reaching 0.72 keV electron temperature through compressional plasma heating.

• General Fusion achieved compressional plasma heating with LM26, reaching 0.72 keV electron temperature.
• LM26 is a large-scale MTF machine that compresses plasma using a lithium liner, aiming for 1 keV as a milestone.
• Results include increased plasma density, magnetic field, and neutron yield during compression, with no significant lithium contamination.
