Thank you SF Deep Tech Week for giving Zap's Derek Sutherland a chance to help spread the word about our fusion energy developments (and, if you look closely, a platform to educate the audience on "sausage" and "kink" plasma instabilities).
🎉 digiLab are headed to the Fusion Industry Association annual policy conference next week in D.C.
💬 As always were excited to discuss the state of Fusion Energy, and where AI and uncertainty quantification can help fusion deployment.
🤝 If you're also attending, come chat to our representatives Professor Tim Dodwell, Amanda Niedfeldt, Ross Allen, and Cyd Cowley!
Here’s a video I did for the Seraphina Project exploring the transformative potential of fusion power.
Isn’t it fascinating how, amidst groundbreaking advancements in fusion technology, we see an upsurge in global conflicts? 🧐

Nice piece on Fusion in TechCrunch. At ExoFusion, we see challenges indeed but also a great deal of opportunity IF the community is honest. Many of the white elephant projects are stranded on the island of old-physics. We have to, as a community and ecosystem, understand how important this is to the world and always proceed on the basis of scientific honesty.

Fusion Energy - An Epic Quest! Ongoing update for where fusion stands today in America and worldwide.
ITER is definitely delayed. NIF has had several amazing recent breakthroughs. Private fusion companies are entering the game with gusto.
It's a free for all, in a good way.
At this point, it's no longer if for practical fusion, it's when.
My predictions: ITER will move the football when it finally comes online, how far is hard to predict, into the red zone is likely since NIF is already there. Nobody said science was not competitive.
The private companies are harder to gauge, some of the private side is likely hype, but one would be remiss not to mention the human genome project, academics pegged it for a 10-15 year run, minimum. Private industry got it done in less than 4 - a stellar level of technology advancement. Fusion has been 30 years away for a long time. Cautiously, I would say fusion is about 10-15 years away now for sustained breakeven, and probably another 5 after that for commercial application. So 20 years total with a possible technology acceleration of 3X gives commercial fusion no sooner than 2031 - that's what my tea leaves say.
If that seems pessimistic, consider, I hold here in my hand the power and grandeur of a star. That is magic/technology of a very high order.
