The future of carbon-free energy smells like teriyaki and sounds like a low-flying 737. 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.
