Base Power Gets $1 Billion for Its Core Home Battery 🔋
The startup Base Power has secured $1 billion to launch its new giant home battery called Core. 🚀
This huge battery has a capacity of 39.2 kWh. For comparison, that is enough electricity to keep your entire house running for up to 36 hours during a blackout. Instead of waiting days for technicians to set it up, the company promises to install the entire system in under 1 hour. It connects directly to your home's main power box.
To put this in perspective, a standard Tesla Powerwall 3 holds only 13.5 kWh of energy. You would need 3 of those popular devices to match the capacity of just one Core system, and installing them usually takes a full day.
Imagine never worrying about sudden storm blackouts or rising electricity rates again. Having a power grid in your own backyard is an incredible step toward real energy independence.

Flat magnets for fusion reactors tested
MIT and Thea Energy are testing a new flat superconducting magnet to simplify fusion power. The test checks if the device handles the extreme magnetic fields required to trap plasma. 🧲
Traditional fusion magnets use complex, expensive 3D shapes. This new design uses 12 encircling coils and 300 shaping magnets to make construction and maintenance easier for future power plants.
