GENEVA - In a historic breakthrough that redefines the future of clean energy, Helios Energy Corp announced today that its experimental fusion reactor, "Helios-1," has successfully sustained a net-positive energy output for 48 continuous hours.
The test, which concluded at 06:00 GMT, generated 120% more energy than was required to start and contain the reaction. Unlike previous attempts that lasted mere seconds, this marks the first time a reactor has maintained stability without consuming its own structure.
"This is no longer a science experiment; it is an engineering reality," said Dr. Elena Vance, Chief Scientist. "We have effectively bottled a star. The path to decommissioning every coal plant on Earth now has a roadmap."
The company confirmed that the reactor uses non-radioactive hydrogen-boron fuel, meaning there is zero risk of a meltdown and minimal radioactive waste. Commercial grid integration is expected by 2030.
Global energy markets reacted violently, with renewable energy stocks surging while fossil fuel futures collapsed by 40% in early trading.
