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.”

Reduce, reuse, recycle – but make it a fusion breakthrough 💫
We’re celebrating #EarthDay with the introduction of “Norm,” our first-of-its-kind fusion prototype that …
✂️ Reduces machine size by 50%
⬇️ Lowers operating costs
♻️ Recycles parts from our previous machine, Norman
🔁 Optimizes machine components that will be reused for our next-generation device, Copernicus
Norm’s smaller footprint and more efficient design isn’t just sustainable – it’s also accelerating our path to commercial fusion power. See how at TAE.com.

I am proud to share that TAE’s latest scientific milestone has been published in Nature Communications: the first-ever formation of an FRC plasma using only neutral beam injection.
This groundbreaking achievement marks a pivotal moment not just for TAE, but for fusion energy. By realizing this long-sought method of FRC formation, we’ve made our fusion technology even more efficient, practical and commercially viable.
With this accomplishment, TAE’s advanced beam-driven FRC platform becomes significantly more powerful and cost-effective for clean, abundant fusion energy.
I’m deeply grateful to our extraordinary scientists and engineers who led this research, and to every member of our TAE team whose shared purpose, passion and deep expertise allowed us to deliver this milestone.
At TAE, we don’t just aim to make progress, we aim to redefine what’s possible. We pursue bold ideas and back them with the focus and follow-through needed to bring them to life.
The results we’ve achieved with our streamlined machine, Norm, are a powerful testament to what’s possible when vision, innovation and teamwork align.
I’m honored to share this breakthrough with the world — and excited about its transformational impact on our net energy machine, Copernicus, and TAE’s future power plants.

New TAE fusion research alert!
Fusion Science & Technology has published two articles that highlight the tremendous progress we’ve made through collaborations with the US Department of Energy, national labs, and public universities:
“How the Exascale Computing Project and Private Magnetic Fusion Research Stimulated Each Other” details TAE’s work with the US DOE’s Exascale Computing Project since 2016. With access to these world-class supercomputers and software, the TAE team created high-fidelity simulations of FRC plasmas that helped improve plasma confinement and improved the ECP’s computational toolset.
That means this research – alongside related simulation work with our partners at the University of California, Irvine – advances TAE’s approach to fusion while delivering insights and benefit for the industry at large
Dig into the results of this research.
“Advancing Fusion Research and Development at TAE Technologies Through INFUSE Program” captures six years of R&D collaboration with support from the US DOE’s Innovation Network for Fusion Energy (INFUSE) program.
This long history of collaboration with INFUSE has led to better FRC plasma stability and control, innovative heating schemes, and breakthrough insight into plasma-material interactions – all of which advance progress towards a commercially viable fusion power plant
Catch up on TAE’s work with the US DOE and INFUSE.
We believe the path to commercial fusion power will be built by the collective effort of the private sector and public fusion R&D. Today we’re celebrating the accomplishments of our team and our collaborators, including Oak Ridge National Laboratory; Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory; Rochester University; Sandia National Laboratories; and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, among many others.
Together, we’ll continue to drive innovation and accelerate progress toward grid-ready hydrogen-boron fusion power

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 applauds California’s landmark fusion energy bill
Assembly Bill 1172 supports California’s fusion energy industry by recognizing this cutting-edge technology’s safety and environmental benefits while setting the stage for the state’s future regulatory framework.
TAE Life Sciences Celebrates Collaboration Milestones and Unveils Alphabeam for in-hospital BNCT at ASTRO 2023 Annual Meeting
