I think that the “Focus Fusion” approach of Lawrenceville Plasma Physics, Inc. should be funded as the science behind it is very interesting. Even if this approach does not succeed in producing fusion energy, the research will produce valuable technology in the near term.

The experimental program that LPP plans to carry out has great potential to show how the plasma focus can be used to generate fusion energy and to demonstrate the feasibility of hydrogen-boron fusion. Read more...

Our paper in 2012 was the most read paper that year in the number one journal in our field.

A review committee of four senior scientists, led by the former head of the US government fusion program, concluded that our effort deserved "a much higher level of investment … based on their considerable progress to date"
