Vancouver, Canada, and Oxford, England - General Fusion Group Ltd. (NASDAQ: GFUZ) announced a historic compressional plasma heating result with its large-scale Lawson Machine 26 (LM26) demonstration. Using Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF), the company reached electron temperatures exceeding 12 million degrees Celsius, or more than 1 keV. The results were co-published by the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) and measured using Thomson scattering methods.

The 1.1 keV electron heating result was achieved just prior to peak compression and is detailed in a technical paper co-authored by UKAEA. General Fusion is the first fusion machine in the world to achieve 1 keV with low-speed compression, utilizing a solid metal wall rather than high-powered lasers or physical extremes.

Key Highlights

• Achieved electron temperatures exceeding 12 million degrees Celsius (1.1 keV) using Magnetized Target Fusion.
• Results co-authored and verified by the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) using advanced Thomson scattering plasma diagnostics.
• LM26 is the first fusion machine globally to achieve 1 keV with low-speed compression.
• Company is advancing upgrades to LM26 to support higher plasma compression ratios ahead of the next targeted 10 keV milestone.

The successful measurement was enabled by UKAEA's expertise in plasma diagnostics, including a state-of-the-art polychromator designed at the Diagnostic Innovation Centre of Excellence. General Fusion is continuing its phased commercialization plan toward operating a first-of-a-kind plant around 2035.
