US fusion startup makes history by converting plasma energy directly into electricity
SMRTR summary
Realta Fusion, a Wisconsin-based startup, made history by converting plasma energy directly into electricity for the first time in the private sector, producing enough power to light several incandescent bulbs. The process skips traditional steam turbines by decelerating charged particles to generate electrical current. The company plans modular fusion power plants by the mid-2030s, potentially lowering electricity costs by 10–20%.
