The UK government is investing £45 million in an AI-driven supercomputer named 'Sunrise' to model chaotic nuclear fusion physics. It will run AI-heavy simulations of plasma behavior and reactor physics at UKAEA's Culham campus, coming online this summer.
Controlled nuclear fusion startup Zeta Fusion has completed an angel round of several hundred million RMB. The funding will support the development of their Z-pinch fusion device and the construction of a fusion-fission hybrid reactor.
Bristol-based startup Astral Systems has raised £23 million to scale the production of medical isotopes using fusion technology. Unlike most fusion companies focused on energy, Astral is already generating revenue by applying fusion reactors to medical diagnostics.
Fusion startup Xcimer Energy has successfully ignited its 'Phoenix' laser system, the largest privately-owned laser facility. The project aims to commercialize inertial confinement fusion for clean energy.
China's nuclear installed capacity hits 125 million kW, world No.1, with capacity to build 50 units simultaneously. 60 operating, 36 under construction units; Hualong One leads third-gen deployment. Fusion records broken by EAST and HL-3.
Trump administration sets 26 objectives for AI in government science research. Goals span securing minerals, speeding fusion, unlocking nuclear data, and probing physics. DoE leads the effort.
