About the Company

Marvel Fusion

Pursues laser-driven inertial confinement fusion

Marvel Fusion develops laser-driven fusion energy using non-thermal direct-drive inertial confinement with nanostructured fuel targets. It aims to trigger fusion reactions with low-neutronic fuels like hydrogen-boron, reducing long-lived radioactive waste. The company builds a new high-powered laser facility in collaboration with Colorado State University, housing multiple multi-petawatt lasers to conduct experiments and advance fusion research. Its approach differs from many competitors by applying direct-drive laser for fusion with nanostructured fuels and a focus on hydrogen-boron to minimize waste, supported by a strong academic and private funding network. The goal is to enable a safe, clean, and reliable fusion power plant that helps the world move toward sustainable energy.
