Seattle Times Rachel Lerman July 7, 2015 Redmond-based Helion Energy has raised $10.6 million, according to a filing, to build a fusion engine that would create power. Helion Energy has raised $10.6 million in a new funding round to develop technology that aims to create a fusion reactor to generate power. The company disclosed the … Read more
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Our energy future depends on nuclear fusion, says Michel Laberge. In a lab near Vancouver, Michel and his team are building a prototype fusion reactor that mimics the processes of the sun to produce cheap, clean and abundant energy. Michel … Read more
