Cambridge Heavy Industries develops compact laser-driven fusion systems for isotope production and, ultimately, electricity generation.

Funding history

Product

The Cambridge, Massachusetts company is led by co-founder and CEO Yun Kai. Its benchtop design uses carefully timed laser pulses to compress a fuel target and create conditions for fusion.

The small system allows repeated experiments that feed simulations and design improvements. The company plans to pursue tritium production as an early application while developing larger fusion-power systems.
