A new type of laser fusion

The engine of innovation: Ultrafast plasmonic field enhancement
We are engineering a novel fusion architecture built at the intersection of ultrafast optics and nanophotonics. Leveraging tailored laser pulses and advanced plasmonic nanostructures, we create near-fields of unprecedented intensity.
 
A next-generation non-thermal fusion core
Our innovation is the fusion core that harnesses this direct acceleration. This is a fundamental departure from mainstream fusion research. Instead of heating a vast volume of fuel to hundreds of millions of degrees, we create a highly controlled, micro-scale reaction zone defined by the laser and nanostructure geometry. By directly accelerating deuterons to optimal fusion energies, we bypass the need for a thermal plasma. This approach promises a more compact, scalable, and potentially aneutronic fusion reaction, which could dramatically reduce the complexity, shielding requirements, and cost associated with traditional nuclear power.

Exploring new use-cases
Beyond the primary goal of fusion energy, our unique, compact and elegant neutron source has profound near-term applications across multiple industries. We are actively exploring its potential to drive subcritical small modular reactors (SMRs), offering a safer and more controllable approach to fission power. In the defense industry, its precision and portability unlock new capabilities in materials analysis and threat detection. Furthermore, its ability to perform non-destructive elemental analysis makes it a transformative tool for seabed mining and resource exploration, allowing for the identification of valuable materials in harsh environments. These diverse use-cases represent significant early commercialization pathways for our core technology.
