The fusion shot worked. Now Inertia has to make it happen ten times a second, at a price a power plant can afford. That turns a triumph of physics into a test of factories.
Laser Wire Solutions is a Welsh precision-engineering company that builds laser systems and robots to strip, cut and process the tiniest, most delicate wires on Earth - the kind found inside catheters, MRI coils, EV harnesses and spacecraft. Founded in 2011 by Oxford-trained physicist Paul Taylor, the Pontypridd firm turned a niche insight (that lasers strip fine wire more cleanly than blades) into award-winning machines and contract-manufacturing services now used by medical OEMs, aerospace and defense primes, data-center builders and even Tesla.
