Commercial fusion demands persistence, and the right partners. We’re proud to say we have both as Google renews its commitment to TAE.
For more than 10 years, Google and TAE have worked together to advance fusion science with cutting-edge machine learning.
The collaboration has been instrumental to our scientific progress, including our most recent breakthrough: A simplified, first-of-its-kind fusion machine called “Norm” that reduces the complexity and cost of a future fusion power plant.
We’re building fusion that’s safe, practical and engineered to scale for the world’s energy demands. With partners like Google, we’re getting there faster.

What makes TAE’s approach to commercial fusion so unique?
It starts with a specific fusion machine design called the Field-Reversed Configuration – a powerfully efficient method that TAE has advanced with our suite of original technologies.
But that’s not all. Listen to our “Good Clean Energy” interview with TAE CEO Michl Binderbauer to hear more about the advantages of our fusion technology and how we’ll use it to deliver commercial fusion power:

We were delighted to host UK Minister for Investment Poppy Gustafsson and HM Trade Commissioner Oliver Christian at our California headquarters for a tour of our first-of-its-kind fusion reactor prototype, Norm, and our fusion-enabled technologies.
Whether it’s with our hydrogen-boron fusion development; our transformative cancer therapy at TAE Life Sciences; or our more intelligent power management systems at TAE Power Solutions, we’re committed to advancing the frontiers of science for humanity’s benefit around the world. We’re thrilled to have collaborators in the UK and beyond as fellow innovators building a cleaner, healthier and brighter future for all.

What does it feel like to achieve a first in fusion research history?
On this episode of “Good Clean Energy,” TAE Director of Diagnostics Thomas Roche takes us inside the experiment that led to TAE’s breakthrough fusion machine, Norm – the first reactor prototype that can produce an FRC plasma using only neutral beam injection.
“I remember having my jaw drop that day,” Roche says. “I never thought it would lead us to the state that we’re in now.”
How the U.S. is losing ground to China in nuclear fusion, as AI power needs surge
China and the U.S. are in a race to create the first grid-scale nuclear fusion energy. “Whoever has essentially abundant limitless energy … can impact everything you think of,” said TAE Technologies CEO Michl Binderbauer.
Commercial fusion power development is already yielding benefits
Large, state-sponsored efforts and private startups are reporting breakthroughs that many in the industry now think will lead to viable fusion energy. And in developing such fusion power plants, we are creating new technologies and solutions that can reach far beyond the task of energy generation.
Fusion power is coming back into fashion
Hoping to ride the green-energy wave to a carbon-free future, energy companies are taking fusion from the lab to the grid—and promise to do so with machines that are far smaller and cheaper than previous iterations, based on the use of technologies and materials not available in the past, and often, on simpler designs.
5 ways fusion energy can change the world for the better
Commercial fusion energy has been making headlines since scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California achieved what many have said was impossible: a fusion experiment that created a net energy gain.
Exclusive: Fusion developer TAE spins off power management company
The move allows the parent company to focus on its fusion, and the new entity to focus on its battery technology for vehicles and renewable storage facilities.
TAE Technologies raises $150 million in latest funding round
TAE Technologies has raised more than $150 million in its latest funding round, exceeding the company’s initial target for the round. Chevron, Google and NEA participated, among other new and existing investors.
TAE Technologies Delivers Fusion Breakthrough that Dramatically Reduces Cost of a Future Power Plant
Experimental results published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Communications prove TAE’s streamlined approach to form and optimize plasma in its Norm machine increases efficiency, significantly reduces complexity and cost, and accelerates the company’s path to net energy and commercial fusion power.
Occidental Low Carbon Ventures and TAE Technologies Explore Fusion Energy for Direct Air Capture Facilities
Oxy Low Carbon Ventures (OLCV) and TAE Technologies signed a memorandum to explore using TAE’s fusion technology for emissions-free power and heat in Direct Air Capture (DAC) facilities. The partnership aims to integrate fusion energy with Occidental’s clean energy sources for DAC operations.
