Google announces power purchase agreement with Commonwealth Fusion
In its June 30 announcement of a new deal to purchase 200 MW from Commonwealth Fusion Systems' (CFS) first ARC fusion power plant planned for Virginia, Google called it “the largest direct corporate offtake agreement for fusion energy” ever. While Google made no mention of its plans for the power, its press release noted that clean energy is needed to reduce data center emissions.

The classical elastic scattering probability function, ƒs (,), and corresponding speed and angular functions are simply generalized to any arbitrary coordinate system moving with velocity u. Unified consideration leads to new mixed, but equivalent, representations of ƒs(, ) which recover earlier results. The general treatment is concise and maintains the fundamental features of the binary collision in three dimensions. Extension of the analysis to anisotropic scattering is discussed briefly.
