UK-based Tokamak Energy is developing new laser measurement technology to control extreme conditions inside future fusion power. Plasma temperatures inside a tokamak reach over 100m degrees Celsius. The hydrogen fuel must be closely and accurately measured by a specialist laser system to keep the hot plasma stable, hold density and maintain fusion conditions.

The USA's Colorado State University (CSU) and German laser fusion developer Marvel Fusion have established a public-private partnership to support construction of a $150m high-power laser and fusion research facility at Fort Collins on the CSU Foothills Campus. The facility is expected to become an international epicenter for research into inertial fusion energy, lasers and photonics, and high energy density physics under the partnership. CSU said that, pending finalisation of the financial details by the CSU System Board of Governors, the partnership will establish Fort Collins as a nexus for laser fusion research and deliver significant positive impacts to Colorado.
