‘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

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.

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.”
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.
We have ‘ignition’: Fusion breakthrough draws energy gain
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.
Nuclear fusion could transform the energy sector. Chevron and Alphabet are already investing.
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 promises of fusion energy and what a research breakthrough could mean
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.
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.
Introducing TAE Power Solutions, a power management spin-off company from fusion energy leader TAE Technologies
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.
TAE Technologies’ statement on US nuclear fusion advancement
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.
