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

Advanced materials and additive manufacturing (AM) – also known as 3Dprinting – are some of the best tools in our toolbox to accelerate our progress toward commercial fusion power.

As TAE Project Engineer Vincent Pilard shared at this year’s Global AM Summit, our successful integration of AM has been key to solving fusion engineering challenges quickly and sustainably.

“The global energy demand is on course to double by 2050 – fusion is capable of sustaining the planet for thousands of years, safely delivering environmentally responsible baseload power,” Pilard presented at the NAMIC Singapore event. “Leveraging AM optimizes our capability to build components with complex geometries and develop engineering solutions with high-performance materials.”

No tricks over here, just a treat! The next installment in our “Fusion Future” poster series is now available!

This custom artwork takes inspiration from TAE’s vision for greener, fusion-powered communities. With access to hydrogen-boron fusion power plants, the world’s neighborhoods could thrive with increased electrification of transportation, homes, schools and businesses – as well as future-focused innovations like vertical farming for a climate-resilient local food supply.

As the world’s energy consumption continues to climb, we’re going to need an abundant, carbon-free, reliable power source to match that need. Fusion is the solution.

Another successful APS Division of Plasma Physics conference is in the books!

The TAE team headed to Atlanta this month to present 13 new posters and a contributed talk highlighting our advanced plasma performance and stability with optimized neutral beam injection; new diagnostic tools; and enhanced modeling frameworks.
