The move comes as countries and private developers worldwide race to build fusion demonstration plants. Bruker's RRP superconductors have previously been used in advanced superconducting plasma facilities such as ITER and Wendelstein 7-X. The company's Energy & Supercon Technologies division reported a 11.9% year-over-year revenue increase to $74.2 million in the second quarter, but GAAP results showed a loss due to a one-time goodwill impairment. Despite increased holdings by hedge funds, short positions still account for 14.91% of outstanding shares, and the market awaits further developments in this business.
