Did you know that #fusion is the process that powers the Sun and other stars? Fusion #energy is environmentally friendly, safe, and capable of sustaining the planet for thousands of years.
NAMIC Singapore had the opportunity to visit TAE Technologies, Inc at its #California premises and witnessed their latest generation #aneutronic fusion platform. Named after the late co-founder and pioneer, Dr Norman Rostoker, who founded the company in 1998 as a spin-off from University of California Irvine, the platform combines TAE’s proprietary power management technology and advanced beam-driven field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasma for compact and efficient operations.
Under development, the Copernicus is their 6th generation fusion platform and will be another major step in the world of fusion power. #AdditiveManufacturing will play a major role, using Copper-based and refractory metal alloys for the fabrication of unibody parts with complex geometries and optimised performance, enabling successful fusion plasma sustainment.
TAE Technologies has two other units, TAE Power Solutions and TAE Life Sciences, derived from their fusion technology. TAE Life Sciences has developed a Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) system, based on TAE’s expertise on particle accelerators from the fusion platform. This non-invasive, biologically targeted particle therapy uses precise neutron beams to help in cancer therapy and is currently undergoing patient trials. TAE Power Solutions focuses on power management systems developed on the C-2W/Norman reactor for the electric vehicle charging infrastructure and energy storage markets.
We are excited to witness first-hand the advancement in fusion technology. The prospect of #clean energy enabled by fusion technology will hopefully lead to humanity’s first truly sustainable energy source.
Stay tuned!
Thank you for hosting us Vincent P., Elisabeth Siegel, R. David Edelman, Artem Smirnov, David Madura, @Michael Meekins, Chaw Sing HO Kelvin Loke Michelle N.

TAE applauds the passing of the Fusion Energy Act. This legislation represents a strong signal of bipartisan support for fusion power as a source of carbon-free energy. It confirms the clear regulatory path that designates fusion as separate from fission set by regulators last year, and promotes the safety of fusion devices. Thank you to the sponsors, Reps. Lori Trahan, Don Beyer, Chuck Fleischmann, Jay Obernolte and Senators Alex Padilla, John Cornyn, Cory Booker, Todd Young and Patty Murray.
Bipartisan E&C Leaders Applaud Passage of Historic Nuclear Energy Package
May 31, 2024
One year after publishing the world’s first measurements of a magnetically confined hydrogen-boron fusion plasma, TAE and Japan’s National Institute for Fusion Science have completed another round of successful joint p-B11 experiments 🎉
Hydrogen-boron, or p-B11, is the cleanest, safest and most sustainable fuel choice available for fusion. By testing this fuel source with NIFS’ Large Helical Device, TAE can optimize its technology and accelerate delivery of hydrogen-boron fusion to the world.
For this month’s experiments, TAE’s Chief Science Officer Toshiki Tajima and VP of Program Management and Science Fellow Hiroshi Gota traveled to Japan to work side by side with the NIFS team, including NIFS’ Director General, Professor Zensho Yoshida, and NIFS’ Executive Director of the LHD Project, Professor Masaki Osakabe, pictured above.
The more we learn about the potential of hydrogen-boron fusion, the more excited we are about its future benefit to humanity

TAE’s Policy Chief R. David Edelman and VP of Program Management Hiroshi Gota capped off a great week in Washington, D.C. today with a luncheon on fusion’s breakthroughs, co-hosted by Edelman, the Institute for Education and the Embassy of Japan 🌸
The fastest path to commercial fusion will be the one built with global collaboration. Thank you to Japanese Amb. to the US Shigeo Yamada and long-time TAE friend and investor Coach Kathy Kemper for collaborating with us on this event!

From fusion to fast charging, it was a pleasure to give California Sen. Catherine Blakespear a tour of TAE’s offices.
TAE is creating the tools our leaders will need to electrify transportation and generate clean, affordable energy.
The Biological Theory That Explains Why Investors Are Bullish on Fusion
For a field that has existed for more than 60 years, a lot has happened in fusion research in the last half-decade. In fusion’s case, a trio of technological advances converged in the early 2010s to unleash a wave of innovation. “I think you see this beautiful inflection point in this field where the science maturity and technical capability come together,” said Michl Binderbauer, CEO of TAE Technologies.
The Frontrunners in the Trillion-Dollar Race for Limitless Fusion Power
With energy prices on the rise, along with demands for energy independence and an urgent need for carbon-free power, plans to walk away from nuclear energy are now being revised in Japan, South Korea, and even Germany. TAE’s approach, which involves creating a fusion reaction at incredibly high heat, has a key advantage.
Nuclear Fusion Powers the Sun and Stars. Here’s How We Can Generate It On Earth
The Sun’s surface is 15 million degrees Celsius, which is relatively balmy compared to the 75 million degrees Celsius that TAE Technologies recently generated in July. This temperature benchmark in the company’s current machine, named Norman, demonstrated “unmatched real-time control of plasma.”
TAE on Track for Billion-Degree Hydrogen-Boron Fusion by Early 2030s
Some fusion projects aim to create hundred-million degree working temperatures in magnetically confined plasma. The CEO of TAE Technologies tells us his team’s aiming for 10 times that temperature, targeting cheaper, easier and safer boron fuel.
This Google-Backed Fusion Reactor Must Run 8 Times Hotter Than the World’s Largest Tokamak
The world has been watching the many nuclear fusion tokamak experiments with keen interest, but the stage is also set for those who are trying something a bit different, like stellarators and other reactor formats. That’s where TAE Technologies comes in.
TAE Technologies Expands Executive Team with William Coaker as Chief Investment Officer
TAE Technologies is pleased to announce the appointment of William Coaker as the company’s first Chief Investment Officer. Bill comes to TAE with over two decades of experience in investment, most recently as Chief Investment Officer for the San Francisco Employees Retirement System (SFERS), a $34 billion public pension plan. Bill’s leadership and vision will play a central role in TAE’s next phase of growth.
Fusion Energy Milestone from TAE Technologies Validates Path to Cost-Competitive Carbon-Free Baseload Energy Company Raises Additional $280M for Reactor-Scale Demonstration Facility
