TAE Technologies and UKAEA partner to commercialize advanced fusion technology
TAE and UKAEA partner to commercialize advanced fusion technology – New joint venture TAE Beam UK will develop neutral beams for fusion and accelerator innovations for non-fusion applications.
TAE shortens device roadmap, prepares for commercial era
TAE’s Norm machine – the first to produce FRC plasmas with only neutral beam injection – has performed beyond expectations, leapfrogging a planned sixth device, Copernicus
2025 NSBP/NSHP Conference
The NSBP annual meeting brings together leading experts from academia, industry and government agencies as well as the next generation of scientists from universities around the world. The goal of the conference is to provide current research discoveries, technical presentations, mentorship opportunities, workforce access, and best practices for the broader physics and astronomy community.
28th International Conference on Numerical Simulation of Plasmas (ICNSP 2025)
28th International Conference on Numerical Simulation of Plasmas (ICNSP 2025), the premier global forum for plasma simulation experts.

TAE continues to redefine FRC fusion with our advanced neutral beam technology. Our particle accelerators have already achieved a scientific breakthrough this year with our machine’s ability to form, heat and stabilize an FRC plasma using only neutral beam injection –...Advanced neutral beam injection in a field-reserved configuration plasma
September 2025 | J.B. Titus | Nuclear Fusion | Paper
Neutral beam injection has been shown to create field-reversed configuration plasmas on C-2W. Recent advances in optimization and control of eight neutral beam injectors help deliver customized current drive for a plethora of plasma regimes.
Wave coupling and propagation from a fast-wave antenna in the lower hybrid range of frequencies
July 2025 | J. Larson | Journal of Plasma Physics | Paper
A set of experiments were conducted on the Large Plasma Device (LAPD) at UCLA to test the operational principles of a traveling wave antenna of the comb-line type. This antenna was designed to launch helicon waves (fast waves in the lower hybrid range of frequencies) on DIII-D.
Electromagnetic and Centrifugal Effects on Plasma Acceleration in the Magnetic Nozzle
July 2025 | A.I. Smolyakov | Physics of Plasmas | Paper
Plasma flow and acceleration in the converging-diverging magnetic field configuration, such as magnetic nozzle in electric propulsion and open magnetic mirrors for fusion applications are considered.
