In the world of energy, there's a holy grail that scientists have been chasing for decades - fusion power. And one company, Helion Energy, believes they're on the cusp of making this dream a reality.

Traditional nuclear power breaks atoms apart. Fusion combines lightweight atoms (like hydrogen) to create heavier ones.

This releases massive amounts of energy in the process. This is the same process that powers the sun and other stars. And if we could harness it on Earth, it could revolutionize the way we generate electricity.

Helion’s Big Bet

Helion's approach is unique - they use powerful magnets to heat and compress plasma to over 100 million degrees Celsius.

This triggers fusion reactions that can generate electricity. Their "pulsed non-ignition fusion system" means the reactions only need to last for a short time, rather than trying to sustain a continuous reaction like other fusion efforts.
