Fossil fuels propelled humanity forward, yet their era must end for environmental sustainability; nuclear fusion offers hope.

In the quest for clean energy, nuclear fusion mimics the sun, merging nuclei to release vast energy, yet achieving it remains complex.

General Fusion's innovative approach combines the power of magnets and pistons in a quest to unlock safe, abundant fusion energy.
