The latest release in our “Fusion Future” poster series is here!
“The Path to Fusion Power” is inspired by TAE’s vision for compact, aneutronic fusion power plants fueled with hydrogen-boron.
Hydrogen-boron is the safest possible fuel for fusion, with zero carbon emissions, no long-lived radioactive waste, and more than 100,000 years of supply accessible all around the world.
Using this approach, TAE Fusion Power energy plants would be safe enough to be placed even in the middle of a bustling city – no high-voltage transmission lines, deep mining, or miles of acreage required

TAE had the pleasure of hosting the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) at our California headquarters.
Thank you to Harriet Kung, the Acting Director of the Office of Science, and JP Allain, the DOE’s Associate Director for Fusion Energy Sciences, for joining us on a tour of our 5th-generation fusion research reactor and our TAE Power Solutions lab!
TAE CEO Michl Binderbauer; Chief Science Officer Dr. Toshiki Tajima; VP of Fusion Energy Erik Trask; TAE Power Solutions CEO Kedar Munipella; UC Irvine Vice Chancellor Pramod Khargonekar; and University of California Vice President for Research & Innovation Theresa Maldonado joined these DOE leaders to discuss TAE’s clean energy ecosystem.
We’re developing a clean, safe, economical approach to commercial fusion power, and our TAE Power Solutions team creates the technology our world needs to advance more efficient EVs and battery energy storage systems.
Read more on what’s coming from TAE Power Solutions.
Catch up on our latest fusion research.

Imagine a world without pollution, extraction and scarcity – a world powered by good, clean energy. A world in which reliable fusion power complements wind and solar, providing unlimited on-demand electricity. That’s what TAE has been working toward since 1998. We’re unlocking the power of the sun and stars right here on Earth with hydrogen-boron – the safest, most sustainable form of fusion. In the fusion-powered future, you can flip on a light and cool off your home without a second thought about your carbon footprint. TAE’s emissions-free, radioactive-free fusion power is not just clean energy; it is a pathway to a bright and energetic world.

When TAE began, our founding team imagined a future with carbon-free, on-demand electricity from the cleanest and safest approach to fusion power. Today, we’re building our 6th fusion research reactor to demonstrate the viability of net energy with our unique approach to fusion.
In the words of George Bernard Shaw, “Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine, and at last, you create what you will.”
To help inspire your imagination for the future of fusion power, check out our new printable art series “Power Possibilities,” which illustrates the potential of what we can do with hydrogen-boron fusion energy.

Congratulations to the TAE team and all of our collaborators on our new publication in Nuclear Fusion!
TAE’s fifth-generation fusion machine, Norman, has further improved plasma performance across the key elements of a fusion reaction, including extended steady-state operations (up to 40 milliseconds; limited by neutral-beam pulse length), enhanced plasma energy output (Etot ~13 kJ), and enhanced electron temperature (Te ~1 keV).
This progress was achieved in strong collaboration with some of our frequent research partners – including UC Irvine, UCLA, UC San Diego, Google, PPPL, Nihon University and University of Saskatchewan — and it puts us exactly where we want to be as we pursue demonstrating the viability of net energy generation from our approach!
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.
Scientists produce nuclear fusion breakthrough
The Department of Energy is expected to announce tomorrow that researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Lab in California have used lasers to produce a nuclear fusion reaction that creates energy. NBC News’ Tom Costello shares more about what scientists are calling the “Holy Grail” of clean energy.
U.S. to report breakthrough in clean energy
Basically the sun in a box. To talk about what this may mean in the long term implications I’m joined by Michael — CEO of T 80 technologies, the private fusion energy company. Michael, great to have you on the show. You have the tough job here of explaining this to our audience. In layman’s terms, explain exactly what’s being achieved here?
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.
Clean Fusion Energy Leader TAE Technologies Wins $17.4M CalCompetes Grant
TAE Technologies, a private company founded to commercialize fusion energy with the cleanest environmental profile, has been awarded a highly competitive California Competes Grant by Governor Gavin Newsom’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz).
The $17.4 million grant will directly support job creation in fusion development, as well as TAE’s rapidly expanding power management business.
TAE Technologies Honored by Goldman Sachs for Entrepreneurship
Goldman Sachs selected Binderbauer from multiple industries to be honored at the two-day event.
TAE was founded to commercialize a completely safe, sustainable, non-radioactive source of carbon-free energy, capable of meeting humanity’s growing energy needs without impacting the environment.
TAE Technologies Exceeds Fusion Reactor Performance Goals By 250% As Company Closes $250 Million Financing Round, Totaling $1.2 Billion To Date
