TAE Technologies Gains Renewed Admission into DOE INCITE Program to Further Fusion Energy Research

Nov 2018 | Press Releases

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.

First experimental measurements of a new fast ion driven micro-burst instability in a field-reversed configuration plasma

Oct 2018 | Research Library, Papers, Diagnostics, Fusion Energy, Fusion Research, Fusion Science, Fusion Technology, Instabilities, Modeling, Plasma Research, Theory, Top Level

October 2018 | B. Deng | Nuclear Fusion | Paper

In modern F experiments at TAE Technologies, classical FRC instabilities are suppressed
by advanced neutral beam injection and edge biasing methods, leading to high plasma confinement and fast ion pressure built-up which is comparable to the bulk plasma pressure.
