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!

Our work is about investing in the future, and that includes building the next generation of scientific innovators. TAE’s Manager of Program Management Tania Schindler was honored to join the brilliant students in Irvine Unified School District as the keynote speaker on physics careers for this year’s Science Fair Awards Ceremony held at University Lab Partners, which left us inspired about the future talent coming out of our community.
Congratulations to all the participants!
Google and Chevron Invest in Nuclear Fusion Startup That’s Raised $1.2 Billion
Google, the search giant owned by parent company Alphabet, has partnered with TAE since 2014, providing the fusion startup with artificial intelligence and computational power. But this marks Google’s first cash investment in TAE.
For a Clean Energy Future, Our Relationship to the Grid Must Change
Our current domestic electrical grids are woefully inept to integrate necessary renewable energy sources. The answer to solving this problem lies within a new approach to energy use: one that focuses on optimizing the way customers and their technologies interact with the grid.
Why TAE is Pursuing Hydrogen-Boron Fusion
Reporting on challenges with tritium fuel for fusion, Science notes TAE Technologies has “decided to simply forgo tritium” to “use plain hydrogen and boron.” TAE’s hydrogen-boron fusion will “require higher temperatures than [deuterium-tritium], but the [company thinks] that’s a price worth paying to avoid tritium hassles” and produce the cleanest, safest fusion reaction.
Working on nuclear fusion is a ‘moral obligation’ for this CEO
Michl Binderbauer has made an audacious promise. Within the next decade, his company, TAE Technologies, will create a nuclear fusion reactor that delivers energy to the power grid.
“It’s not false confidence,” said Binderbauer, the CEO of TAE. “The building blocks we need — they’re coming.”
The promise of fusion
Google-backed TAE Technologies, which has raised $880m (£650m), predicts its reactors will be commercialized within ten years. In experiments, the company has already reached more than 50 million degrees Celsius, and a new prototype will operate at more than 100 million degrees Celsius. “Our livelihoods depend on delivering – or we’re gone,” says Michl Binderbauer, chief executive of TAE Technologies, which has operated since 1998.
