Summary
Realta Fusion claims to have achieved a first by generating electricity directly from a fusion reaction, bypassing the traditional steam-turbine approach. The experiment, conducted on June 19, demonstrates direct energy capture from plasma, offering a potentially more efficient path to profitable fusion power. While the 2022 breakthrough proved fusion can produce net energy, startups now face the challenge of making reactors commercially viable.
