Fusion power has a fuel problem; Hexium has a laser-powered solution
Hexium has emerged from stealth with $8 million in seed funding.
So Jerrott and his Focused Energy colleague Jacob Peterson decided to set off on their own, founding Hexium with an eye toward solving fusion’s future fuel problems. The ionized atom will then be drawn to an electrically charged plate where it will condense into a liquid and run down into a trough, like beads of water on the outside of an icy glass. Hexium can then package the lithium-6 and sell it to fusion companies, which will use the metal to both breed tritium fuel and protect their pilot and commercial reactors from harmful radiation.
