According to Cailian Press, the Italian energy giant Eni announced on Thursday that it signed a strategic framework agreement with MIT-bred fusion energy startup Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) to support the development and deployment of commercial fusion energy.

On the afternoon of March 8th, a screenshot regarding a breakthrough in room-temperature superconductivity went viral on social media. It was a presentation given at the March Meeting of the American Physical Society by Ranga Dias from the University of Rochester, titled 'Observation of Room-temperature Superconductivity in Hydride at Near Ambient Pressure.' The team announced the achievement of room-temperature superconductivity under near-ambient pressure conditions.

he emergence of ChatGPT has set off an important revolution in the field of AI. It has attracted wide attention from users to investors because of its potential to unlock human productivity. Many investment institutions and technology companies have begun to deploy similar intelligent tools. For example, Baidu is reported to launch its AIprogram in China in March.

At present, there are many approaches to controlled fusion. Magnetic confinement fusion is one of them, which mainly confine fusion fuels in the form of plasma with magnetic fields, and output energy. Stellarator and tokamak are two typical fusion reactors.

Energy shortage has been troubling governments all over the world and restricting human development, because energy underlies social development. Nuclear fusion technology is expected to become an effective way to solve the world problem. Based on the analysis of the current situation of fusion energy commercialization in this paper, including the policy support of governments, the optimistic forecast of top business think tanks and the explosive growth of private investment, the commercialization of controlled fusion is ushering in a new period of rapid development.

According to a recent report released by McKinsey, global power consumption is projected to triple by 2050. With such an increase, what actions might we take to achieve our target of cutting carbon emissions to zero? The answer lies in fusion energy, a key candidate for a zero-carbon power grid.
