Congratulations to the TAE team and all of our collaborators on our new publication in Nuclear Fusion!
TAE’s fifth-generation fusion machine, Norman, has further improved plasma performance across the key elements of a fusion reaction, including extended steady-state operations (up to 40 milliseconds; limited by neutral-beam pulse length), enhanced plasma energy output (Etot ~13 kJ), and enhanced electron temperature (Te ~1 keV).
This progress was achieved in strong collaboration with some of our frequent research partners – including UC Irvine, UCLA, UC San Diego, Google, PPPL, Nihon University and University of Saskatchewan — and it puts us exactly where we want to be as we pursue demonstrating the viability of net energy generation from our approach!
