While Lyman Spitzer developed the idea for stellarators at Princeton University in 1951, it was decades before the tech caught up. Now, @PPPLab is collaborating with @TheaEnergy to develop stellarators that could bring us fusion energy in the future: energy.gov/science/articles/…

Thanks @willwwade for covering! The #stellarator is a mature magnetic confinement #fusion technology, but the complex coils were its Achilles' heel. Thea Energy is using simpler, programmable magnets to reinvent the stellarator & build deployable power plants with high uptime.
US fusion startup Thea Energy raised $100 million to develop a demonstration project as surging electricity demand spurs interest in the technology that promises to tap the energy of the stars bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
