Last month, we demonstrated high-rate alchemy: turning mercury into real, stable gold, beating CERN’s record by a factor of 10.
Last week, we enriched isotopes in the world’s most powerful plasma centrifuge, beating the Soviet record that stood for 40 years.
Now, we’re building a fusion reactor in San Francisco to achieve record power density.
Thanks @JeremyDSchwartz ! Really enjoyed this wide-ranging conversation. From powering AI to commercializing fusion and rethinking how we send information, some of the biggest investment opportunities of the next decade will come from solving hard problems in the physical world.
We're just getting started! 🚀
Big thanks to @ErikSTownsend of @MacroVoices for putting @CarlyAnde on my radar! After hearing his podcast, I knew we had to get her on Behind the Markets quickly like he suggested.
What a fascinating conversation with Carly and her approach for funding some really hard problems and exciting tech @ Timescale Ventures!
We covered everything from AI’s massive power needs and next-generation nuclear energy to copper, critical minerals, battery innovation, lasers, space communications, and the race to commercialize fusion.
Carly has an incredible ability to connect cutting-edge science with real-world investment opportunities.
Timescale Ventures is funding some very interesting hard physical problems powering the new industrial economy.

MacroVoices @ErikSTownsend & @PatrickCeresna welcome, Carly Anderson . They discuss the coming “nuclear renaissance” driven by small modular reactors and mass manufacturing and how deep‑tech venture investing and industrial robotics can accelerate this energy transition. bit.ly/3Up1SaC
The mental image here is amazing… go @Olya_Irzak !
Methane is 28x worse than CO2. Has Denmark considered setting it on fire? It will reduce the warning effect by 96%! Stream looks steady enough that it may stay on if lit. @FrostMethane we think flying a drone with a road flare into will do it.

1/5 Thanks @ramez for this great riff! And the plug for new mining technologies like direct lithium extraction, which are really exciting. @Lilac_Solutions @summit_nanotech @energyx
1. Can the US produce enough lithium to meet rising battery demand? A few thoughts on lithium and other battery minerals, riffing off of this great, detailed analysis by @CarlyAnde medium.com/prime-movers-lab/…
4/5 Although if the US builds out 90 GWh of lithium ion battery capacity by 2025 like some predict, those plants will need 75,000 tonnes of lithium per year????

(The US produces ~1000 tonnes/yr right now.)

Yesterday was an exciting day for Prime Movers Lab and @TaranaWireless. We're proud to be a part of the company's $170 million Series 6 funding round. Congrats to Basil Alwan and his team for their efforts to close the world’s persistent digital divide. #broadband #ngFWA
I got to sit down with friend and OG cleantech investor Marty Reed (Evok) and Jason Switzer @ForesightCAC to chat about what VCs look for… road trip pod fuel 🚗😉 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

How about an example? Here @Mkelland pitches his company, @planetaryh2, which makes H2 from electrolysis AND aims to remove a GT of CO2 by 2035. Mike graciously let Marty and I give him real time feedback, 🦈 tank / Dragon's Den style.

Excited to see the @ENERGY funding projects to find a home for captured CO2. Congrats to the @TalonMetals team! talonmetals.com/tamarack-nic…
Great chat on why we invest in breakthrough science @PrimeMoversLab and techs we’re stoked on! 🔋🧬🚀💧Thanks @ramez, Christie, and @JimPethokoukis!
From nuclear fusion to lunar mining, numerous scientific breakthroughs are poised to change our lives in the next few decades. @AEIecon’s @JimPethokoukis explores these opportunities with @PrimeMoversLab’s @c_iacomini and @ramez.
