But here, and in an even more anonymous office park nearby, startup Zap Energy is trialing a prototype reactor that is already producing high-energy neutrons from nuclear fusion—if not yet enough to send power back into the grid. Zap isn’t the only fusion company fishing in aviation’s talent pool.

Brandon Sorbom , the scientific director of Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) , leads me toward the center of the building’s cross-shaped footprint, weaving among scaffolding, forklifts, and teams of welders and painters. On the site of a former U.S. Army Reserve base near Boston, an unusual structure is rising from the rolling hills.

And scientists and engineers have continued to study the sun’s fusion process in hopes of one day using nuclear fusion to generate heat or electricity. Consequently, governments, universities, and companies have long looked to fusion to remedy these ills. But the prospect of meeting our energy needs this way remains elusive.

Energy storage and nuclear fusion—two reliable crowd pleasers when the crowd you’re talking about is readers of IEEE Spectrum —are well represented among our most widely read energy stories of 2023. Welcome to Fusion City, USA At Helion Energy, workers build a section of the company’s Polaris fusion reactor. Number one?

Plastic holders for hazard-warning lights, centre lock buttons, electronic parking brakes and sockets for the Rolls-Royce Phantom have been made via additive manufacturing since the start of production in 2012. The most recent example can be found in the preliminary trials of the HP Multi Jet Fusion technology.

The sun is like a giant fusion generator, from which mankind currently exploits a tiny amount of energy. In light of this, brain-machine interface technology will be focused on curing or alleviating brain injury and other related disorders in the years to come. In my view, the future of sustainable energy involves three components.
