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

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.
That’s just the tip of the research iceberg – to see the results of our hard work in the lab this year, visit TAE.com/research for more
Fusion Tech in Medicine, Industry May Fund Path to Power Plants
With more than a dozen companies working on different designs to trigger and control fusion reactions, researchers have also come up with innovative systems that can be used in applications from medicine to industrial imaging to electric vehicles. Creating businesses around these products can generate revenue now that will help support the end-goal of a fusion power plant, said Michl Binderbauer, chief executive officer of TAE Technologies Inc.
U.S. scores a nuclear fusion breakthrough — but experts caution commercial viability is a decade or more away
Fusion is another zero-emissions alternative to fossil fuels and radioactive nuclear energy
Fusion Industry Suddenly White-Hot After U.S. Lab Breakthrough
With commercialization years away, investors flock to technology’s long-term clean-energy potential
Michl Binderbauer is chief executive of a southern California firm that aims to create almost limitless energy through nuclear fusion, a starry goal that at times struck some prospective investors as futuristic.
U.S. to announce fusion energy ‘breakthrough’
Scientists hit a key milestone in the quest to create abundant zero-carbon power through nuclear fusion. But they still have a long way to go.
The Department of Energy plans to announce Tuesday that scientists have been able for the first time to produce a fusion reaction that creates a net energy gain — a major milestone in the decades-long, multibillion-dollar quest to develop a technology that provides unlimited, cheap, clean power.
The U.S. nuclear fusion breakthrough is a huge milestone — but unlimited clean energy is still decades off
In some ways, scientists at the Department of Energy’s National Ignition Facility (NIF) have been a bit down and out. The $3.5 billion facility was designed to replicate the atom-smashing reactions that occur inside the sun, a difficult process that requires enormous amounts of heat and pressure, and could theoretically solve humanity’s energy and climate woes.
But technical obstacles put NIF a decade behind in its goal of achieving fusion “ignition,” that is, getting more energy out of one of those reactions than it put in. The facility uses the largest lasers in the world to try and do that, focusing energy on a tiny capsule filled with hydrogen isotopes.
TAE Life Sciences Celebrates Collaboration Milestones and Unveils Alphabeam for in-hospital BNCT at ASTRO 2023 Annual Meeting
TAE Life Sciences, a pioneer in advancing Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) for cancer treatment, is thrilled to announce it is bringing BNCT to this year’s annual meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) in San Diego.
Rob Hill Promoted to TAE Life Sciences CEO as Company Prepares Pursuit of Clinical Trials Globally
TAE Life Sciences, a pre-clinical stage biotech company focused on advancing the field of radiation oncology through accelerator-based Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT), announces the appointment of Rob Hill as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Hill succeeds Bruce Bauer, a co-founder of TAE Life Sciences, who served as the company’s CEO since it was founded in 2017.
Congressional Fusion Energy Caucus Visits TAE Technologies Headquarters
On Wednesday, U.S. Representative Young Kim (CA-40), U.S. Representative Don Beyer (VA-08), and U.S. Representative Mike Levin (CA-49) visited TAE Technologies, the world’s largest private fusion energy company. Rep. Beyer founded and co-chairs the bipartisan fusion energy caucus in 2021, which is touring energy facilities across California.
TAE Power Solutions expands UK operations with battery testing facility for e-mobility and energy storage applications
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.
First measurements of hydrogen-boron fusion in a magnetically confined fusion plasma
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.
