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’s Norm machine – the first to produce FRC plasmas with only neutral beam injection – has performed beyond expectations, leapfrogging a planned sixth device, Copernicus
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), the premier global forum for plasma simulation experts.

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.
The Climate and Sustainability Leadership Forum is a week-long series of virtual events along with an in-person reception to offer an influential global platform for leaders dedicated to accelerating meaningful climate and sustainability initiatives within their organizations and communities. TAE Chief Growth Officer Jim McNiel will present a keynote presentation at the reception on Wednesday, September 24 beginning at 5:00 pm EST.
