Optimising High Energy Density Physics in Complex Geometries

Fusion represents a safe baseload, potentially providing electricity without the disadvantages of fossil fuels, whilst promoting UK energy independence

Our Partnership is dedicated to solving key scientific challenges of Fusion Energy - in particular exploring the use of ‘Amplifier’ technology to produce the extreme conditions needed for energy production in a fusion target, whilst keeping the driver as simple and cost effective as possible

Who are we?

We’re an EPSRC Prosperity Partnership - 50% funded by UKRI, 50% by First Light Fusion

Our partners are Imperial College London, the University of York, the University of Oxford, Mach42 (formerly Machine Discovery) and First Light
