Fusion energy spinout targets next-generation microwaves
MuWave, a recent spinout from UKAEA, has secured £450,000 from the UK Innovation and Science Seed Fund (UKI2S) to offer commercial high-power microwave technology enabled by expertise within UKAEA.
The funding combined with a spinout agreement with UKAEA will accelerate MuWave’s growth plans, develop the next generation of microwave sources, called gyrotrons, and support global exports.
Microwave technology uses electromagnetic waves to heat fusion plasma to temperatures many times hotter than the sun. It also supports applications in satellite communications, radar, geothermal drilling and medical imaging.
