Foams, an emerging key material for fusion now available from HB11
Australia-based HB11 Energy has developed foams that are emerging as a critical material for fusion energy. During a successful experiment at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Germany, researchers utilized foams produced by HB11 Energy to generate high proton fluxes for fusion via laser technology. The company now offers these innovative materials for purchase to research groups at laser facilities. These foams, characterized by a low density of 5 or 10 mg/cc, were tested for the first time, demonstrating their potential in safe and sustainable fusion energy.
