Private companies promise commercial fusion energy in a few years, although large-scale research projects remain in the realm of fundamental research

Nuclear Fusion Research Shifts Focus: Commercial Niche Products instead of Energy Promises

Nuclear fusion research shifts focus: commercial niche products instead of energy generation. Nuclear fusion, in which atomic nuclei are fused, promises clean, safe, and virtually inexhaustible energy. Since the 1950s, this promise has justified extensive public investment in research, without any real progress being made toward commercial use in the energy sector. However, nuclear fusion research ...

In the short run, reassigned ...
