Here is some literal new shiny.

Our SPARC tokamak's donut-shaped vacuum vessel will hold a superhot plasma, the machine's fusion fuel. Here's how we got the first half of that vessel to our HQ in Devens, Massachusetts. This was a design, engineering, fabrication, and transportation feat.

Here's our second customer in three months for our first fusion power plant's electricity: Eni. It's a deal worth more than $1 billion.

It may seem weird to sell power before we've fully demonstrated all of our fusion tech. But actual results — peer-reviewed research, testing, prototypes, simulations, manufacturing, and more — gives us our confidence. Here's some detail on that.

I did a little #FusionEnergy research on Facebook today.

Imagine a future where a data center’s massive energy needs are met by a reactor mimicking the Sun’s power. That future might be closer than you think.
Helion Energy, a U.S. fusion startup, has officially broken ground on its Orion fusion plant in Washington state. It aims to deliver 50 megawatts of clean fusion energy directly to Microsoft data centers by 2028.
This isn't science fiction—it’s a high-stakes commercial venture.

I loved our inflatable SPARC (the tokamak we're building now to demonstrate net fusion energy and pave the way for our ARC fusion power plants). This was at an inspiring (for me at least) Commonwealth Fusion Systems all-hands meeting. The inflatable incarnation of SPARC was fun, but our work on the actual SPARC is very real. #FusionEnergy #Science

An inflatable version of the CFS SPARC tokamak staked down in a field of tall grass with two people standing nearby. It's a balloon, but it's got accurate renderings of the machine's geometry, with magnets and glowing plasma visible in cross section.
