Space solar energy startup Aetherflux to conduct laser beam power generation demonstration in 2026

Space solar energy startup Aetherflux is set to conduct a laser beam power generation demonstration in 2026. Aetherflux hopes to revive and test a concept from the 1970s, which involves using lasers to transmit solar energy from space to receivers on Earth. In the past few years, we've heard of some other attempts to deliver solar energy to Earth. In 2022, China built a 75-meter-high "ground verification system" to study the receiving process of wirelessly transmitted solar energy. In January this year, China announced a plan to build a 1-kilometer-wide solar power station in space. The European Space Agency is also involved in the project, as well as a British startup collaborating with Iceland. In 2023, the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) successfully...
