U.S. scientists have achieved “ignition” — a fusion reaction that produced more energy than it took to create — a critical milestone for nuclear fusion and a step forward in the pursuit of a nearly limitless source of clean energy, Energy Department officials said Tuesday.
Nuclear fusion, the process that powers the sun and other stars, occurs when two atoms’ nuclei collide under extreme temperatures, causing a reaction that can generate incredible amounts of energy with few environmental costs.
The latest step toward pollution-free power has the potential to transform the energy sector, perhaps decades from now, but some companies are already positioning themselves to benefit.
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said on Tuesday that scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California had made “a tremendous scientific breakthrough” in their tests of nuclear fusion, the reaction that powers the sun. While prior efforts to achieve fusion—combining two hydrogen atoms to produce helium in a reaction that produces energy—consumed more energy than they released, the Livermore scientists flipped the balance.
The promise of zero-carbon energy has long been too good to be true, but researchers say they’ve found a breakthrough in what’s known as fusion energy. Fusion energy is a process that occurs in our Sun and other stars and doesn’t emit greenhouse gasses or radioactive waste.
The Department of Energy is expected to announce tomorrow that researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Lab in California have used lasers to produce a nuclear fusion reaction that creates energy. NBC News’ Tom Costello shares more about what scientists are calling the “Holy Grail” of clean energy.
Basically the sun in a box. To talk about what this may mean in the long term implications I’m joined by Michael — CEO of T 80 technologies, the private fusion energy company. Michael, great to have you on the show. You have the tough job here of explaining this to our audience. In layman’s terms, explain exactly what’s being achieved here?
TAE Power Solutions’ new offices in Dudley will be a battery prototype-and-test facility to develop, validate, and industrialize modular battery packs for e-mobility and energy storage.
As fusion developers around the world race to commercialize fusion energy, TAE Technologies has pioneered the pursuit of the cleanest and most economical path to providing electricity with hydrogen-boron (also known as p-B11 or p11B), an abundant, environmentally sound fuel. Today the company is announcing, in collaboration with Japan’s National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS), a noteworthy research advancement: the first-ever hydrogen-boron fusion experiments in a magnetically confined fusion plasma.
TAE Technologies, the world’s largest private fusion energy company, today announces the formation of TAE Power Solutions, a new subsidiary. TAE Power Solutions intends to deliver a first-of-its-kind technology to fundamentally improve the reliability, efficiency, longevity, and affordability of electric-powered products, from vehicles to renewable energy storage.
Today we congratulate our colleagues at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, many of whom we’ve known and worked alongside for decades in the pursuit of fusion.
The scientific break-even advancement represents a theory made reality. Fusion has long been dubbed the “holy grail” of clean energy and this advance brings us one step closer to true viability. Today’s net energy milestone validates a major breakthrough for the entire global field of fusion.
TAE Technologies, a private company founded to commercialize fusion energy with the cleanest environmental profile, has been awarded a highly competitive California Competes Grant by Governor Gavin Newsom’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz).
The $17.4 million grant will directly support job creation in fusion development, as well as TAE’s rapidly expanding power management business.
What compels someone to embark on the unknown? To stand on the precipice of that which has never been done before — that which some would say couldn’t be achieved? At TAE, we’re compelled by the possibility of delivering a carbon-free power source that would revolutionize energy access around the world. We have a vision for a future with safe, abundant, hydrogen-boron fusion, and we’re daring to climb this clean energy Everest to create a better tomorrow. Reaching the summit will be a challenge of perseverance, vision and determination, but at TAE we believe a goal is only impossible until it’s accomplished.
TAE Poster Series: Power Possibilities
‘Tis the season and we got you a little gift …
A new, printable edition of our “Nature Serving Nature” poster is now available for download!
TAE’s poster series is all about exploring what could be achieved with abundant, inexpensive, and nearly limitless aneutronic fusion energy. From protecting our environment to preserving the pristine snow on our mountains, TAE’s mission is to build a greener tomorrow powered by the cleanest fusion technology.
Our preferred fuel choice, hydrogen-boron, is a sustainable option that’s derived from the world around us – offering a path to abundant, carbon-free power that can preserve the natural world
Our latest ‘Fusion Future’ poster has landed!
This edition captures our vision of how abundant, carbon-free fusion power could fuel a greener economy. With advancements in hydrogen-boron fusion, we’re not just creating clean energy; we’re paving the way for thriving supply chains, high-quality jobs, and an entirely new approach to driving global industries.
This week, TAE had the pleasure of joining the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for its inaugural World Fusion Energy Group meeting in Rome.
The WFEG is a global community of world leaders and private stakeholders working to accelerate the development and deployment of commercial #fusion power. This week’s event, attended by TAE Board Member Marco Arese and Elisabeth Siegel from our Policy & Global Affairs team, included dozens of countries that shared statements about their intent to support fusion energy research and commercialization.
TAE’s approach was a highlight of the meeting, as both UK Director General Lee McDonough with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, as well as Francesco Corvaro, the Italian Special Envoy for Climate, noted our progress toward commercial hydrogen-boron fusion power and the game-changing applications of our fusion research.
Part of our mission is to spark curiosity in young minds and empower students to explore careers in #STEM – laying a strong foundation for their personal growth and the future of innovation
Today, we’re delighted to unveil a new, dedicated digital space to advance education in science, technology, education, and math, with a special focus on the potential of fusion power.
This space, combined with the local work of our STEM outreach team, is designed to support schools and organizations in guiding the next generation of creative thinkers and inspire students to imagine, explore, and lead the way into a new era of energy solutions
As you can see from this year’s Girl Scouts of Orange County STEM Expo, our demos can be an electric good time! Visit TAE.com/STEM to learn more
