What is the connection between controlling plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius and a frozen French fry factory? The answer lies in technology transfer and applied mathematics.
On 7 July, SpaceX’s Transporter-17 mission successfully placed the BOHR satellite (a CubeSat developed by the private company City Labs) into orbit. This launch marks a historic milestone, as it is the first time a commercial, private mission has used nuclear power in space, demonstrating that this technology is no longer the exclusive preserve of major public agencies (such as NASA).
On June 3rd, the startup Xcimer activated "Phoenix," the most powerful privately-owned laser in the world. This breakthrough is not only an engineering record but also represents a paradigm shift: nuclear fusion is moving from being a laboratory experiment to an industrial race toward clean, infinite energy.
