Leading laser fusion company Xcimer Energy announced today it’s finalized an agreement for up to $30.5 million in additional federal funding through the U.S. Department of Energy’s Milestone-Based Fusion Development Program.

Xcimer Energy today announced that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has formally approved the company's preconceptual design and technology development roadmap milestone for Athena, Xcimer's architecture for fusion power plants.

Xcimer Energy today announced the hiring of Doug Kunzman as Vice President of Defense as the company scales the industrial and operational capabilities required for commercial fusion and next-generation high-power energy systems.

Xcimer Energy announced today that its researchers and collaborators have removed a major scientific bottleneck to commercializing laser fusion energy by experimentally validating a long-overlooked physics regime which enables next-generation fusion lasers.

Xcimer Energy announced that it is participating in three fusion energy “hubs” that were awarded funding by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today, through DOE’s Inertial Fusion Energy Science and Technology Accelerator Research program (IFE-STAR). Application to the IFE-STAR program was a very competitive process, and Xcimer is the only private company participating in all three hubs that were selected for funding: RISE led by Colorado State University, STARFIRE led by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and IFE-COLoR led by the Laboratory for Laser Energetics.
