Aneutronic fusion is a different path for fusion energy than most fusion researchers are taking.

The plasmoids Mr Lerner has come up with are not yet hot enough to sustain even aneutronic fusion.

As a consequence, the temperatures required for aneutronic fusion are significantly higher, which produces its own set of engineering complications.

This process is known technically, and somewhat perversely, as aneutronic fusion.

One of the challenges of aneutronic fusion is the fact that it uses a Hydrogen-Boron reaction for fuel, rather than the more traditional deuterium-tritium fusion reaction.

By contrast, aneutronic fusion produces tiny to non-existent amounts of this deadly type of radiation, and is potentially capable of turning its fusion products directly into electricity.

The company will be collaborating with the University to publish research related to aneutronic nuclear fusion power.
