Bill Gates and Google have invested, and the identity of nuclear fusion ventures from MIT

Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS, Massachusettsettz), a nuclear fusion venture from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), has raised more than $ 1.8 billion (about 205 billion yen) in the Series B.In 2021, we will move forward to the demonstration operation of the nuclear fusion experimental reactor "SPARC", which started construction, and the design and development of commercial furnaces following it.

The company was established in 18 years.In September, a high -temperature superconducting magnet jointly developed with MIT for the Tokamak -type plasma thermo -fusion fusion fusion of 20 Tesla was successful in the world's highest level of magnetic field strength in the same field.In 2015, SPARC has been committed to commercialization of nuclear fusion power generation, aiming to complete the commercial nuclear fusion furnace "ARC" in the early 30s.

With this financing, the cumulative amount of CFS exceeded $ 2 billion.Series B has also added a new Microsoft co -founder Bill Gates and Google in addition to Italian energy giant Eni (ENI).
