View in the company profileWhat's your stance on publishing and IP ownership?
“We are self-aware dwarfs on giants’ shoulders, thankful for the body of knowledge published by public labs over the decades, eager to “give back” and jointly advance fusion. For this, we regularly present our results at conferences, we have published or recently submitted several journal articles, and we welcome scrutiny by the scientific community.”
