Electric Fusion Systems (EFS) has announced that it has carried out successful aneutronic fusion experiments in the laboratory. EFS, founded in 2020, is experimenting with a new energy technology that does not emit hazardous radiation.
Aneutronic fusion is what it sounds like: very little of the released energy is in the form of hazardous neutrons. The process devised by EFS involves lithium + proton, with helium + energy output products converted directly into usable electricity.
