Want to learn more about @MarathonFusion?
I'm hosting an experience at their SF HQ next week. Come meet the team, see their plasma reactor, and learn about work they're doing to build the future!
Limited space, RSVP on the event page below!
Last month, we demonstrated high-rate alchemy: turning mercury into real, stable gold, beating CERN’s record by a factor of 10.
Last week, we enriched isotopes in the world’s most powerful plasma centrifuge, beating the Soviet record that stood for 40 years.
Now, we’re building a fusion reactor in San Francisco to achieve record power density.

How have we been able to move so quickly?
Because we've spent years quietly building the foundation these breakthroughs rest on.
Since 2023, we’ve been building the underlying capabilities necessary to scale: expertise in molten lithium handling, RF-driven ion generation, plasma diagnostics, vacuum system engineering, neutronics modeling, high power cathodes, and so much more.
If you’ve made it this far, you’ll enjoy the details on our website! Check out our work, and get in touch if you’d like to learn more.

Good morning New York, while you were sleeping this was our most read story. on.ft.com/453Cetv

Today's free issue of The Diff: The Finance of Alchemy. A fusion startup may have a way to turn mercury into gold. But if you can make a lot of something that's priced because it's scarce, how much is that worth?
Marathon Fusion retweeted
People who argue fusion energy won't be cost competitive against fission don't realize that a 1GW fusion reactor can produce 2 tons of gold per year by transmuting mercury.
This means Fusion Energy has a 50:50 revenue split between electricity and alchemy.
Marathon Fusion retweeted
Congrats to the team at @MarathonFusion for identifying a plausible, scalable process for transmuting mercury into gold.
This is something that drove Isaac Newton insane.
