University of Wisconsin-Madison spinoff company Type One Energy has published a comprehensive and robust physics basis for a practical fusion pilot power plant. The advance is an important and promising milestone that brings fusion power closer to reality.
This groundbreaking research was presented in a series of six peer-reviewed scientific papers in a special issue of the prestigious Journal of Plasma Physics, published in March 2025.
The articles serve as the foundation for the company’s first fusion pilot plant project, which Type One Energy is developing. Type One Energy is partnering with the Tennessee Valley Authority utility as a probable partner in this endeavor. Fusion energy, the process that powers the sun and stars, is a long-sought-after way to produce limitless clean and safe energy.
