To better
understand the machine performance and to prepare for the design of TAE’s next generation
experiment Copernicus, a series of experiments with different field configuration and fueling
schemes have been carried out.

A prototype mCHERS diagnostic is providing measurements of the main-ion temperature and velocity in the C-2W field reversed configuration plasma
Nuclear fusion is the primordial source of the sun’s energy. For decades, scientists have been trying to re-create it on Earth. Now they’re closer than ever to achieving it—and to unlocking a future of clean power for all.
