It was a pleasure to host California’s Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis at our Foothill Ranch HQ this week! We had the opportunity to share our progress, provide a tour of our fifth-generation fusion device, and give the Lt. Gov. a sneak peek into the breakthrough technologies for the grid and electric vehicles that we’re building with our TAE Power Solutions team.
Corporations Join the Nuclear Fusion Craze
Nuclear energy is having a moment. Last month, TAE Technologies Inc., a nuclear fusion company in southern California, raised $250 million. Industry watchers describe the company’s approach, which requires creating a fusion reaction in incredibly high heat, as perhaps the biggest scientific gamble in the field.
Nuclear Fusion Powers Stars. Could It One Day Electrify Earth?
Some companies are exploring different fuels as well as different designs. California-based TAE Technologies, which has been in business since 1998, is building a nuclear reactor that’s designed to fuse hydrogen with boron-11 by colliding plasma “smoke rings” inside a long, cigar-shaped chamber. This setup would need to hit temperatures even higher than those in tokamaks. But if scaled-up versions work, they could generate electricity without the neutron fusillade.
TAE Plots Irvine Expansion
TAE Technologies in Foothill Ranch is one step closer to making its ambitious dream of tapping into almost limitless supplies of energy come true, and is expanding its operations to Irvine to help move those plans forward.
Q&A: Fusion Firm Backed by Google Hopes for Mid-Decade Milestone
TAE Technologies Inc., a nuclear fusion startup backed by Alphabet Inc.’s Google, Chevron Corp. and Japan’s Sumitomo Corp., hopes to see an “essential milestone” on its path to build a commercial fusion reactor by the middle of this decade. TAE’s efforts received a kickstart in July as the fusion startup secured $250 million in its latest funding round.

TAE Technologies Gains Renewed Admission into DOE INCITE Program to Further Fusion Energy Research
TAE Technologies’ modeling group has won a 2018 US Department of Energy INCITE (Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment) award on the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility’s Theta supercomputer. The award is for 31MCH (million core hours), which is equivalent to 100MCH on ALCF’s Blue Gene supercomputer, Mira, and will be used to accelerate our research in creating clean fusion energy.
TAE Technologies Welcomes Secretary of Energy Rick Perry on Tour of World’s Leading Private Fusion Energy Facility
TAE Technologies recently welcomed the Department of Energy and Secretary Rick Perry for a tour of our National Laboratory-scale platform, Norman. “It was an honor to host the Secretary and share with him our enthusiasm for the opportunities our fusion pathway can provide,” said CEO Michl Binderbauer.
TAE Technologies Appoints New Executive Leadership
