Proving FRC fusion stability at scale, with Senior Scientist Roelof Groenewald
Good Clean Energy is a podcast that tackles one of the most existential questions of our time: how to build a world with abundant, affordable, carbon-free electricity. TAE’s Jim McNiel dives into deep conversations with experts ranging from scientists to innovators to advocates about the challenges our current electricity systems face and updates on the race for gamechanging, clean ways to power our lives.
A nuclear fusion breakthrough may be closer than you think
Scientists dreaming of fusion are no longer toiling in the shadows. They are being courted by governors, billionaires and tech behemoths eager to get in on the ground floor of what they see as a transformative, carbon-free fusion economy. TAE, for example, is so closely collaborating with Google on its work that the Silicon Valley tech giant has a virtual control room on its campus enabling it to engage with the fusion firm’s experiments.

Simulations of magnetic field reversal by neutral beam injection in a mirror-confined plasma
July 2025 | M. Onofri | Physics of Plasmas | Paper
In the Norm experiment at TAE Technologies, a reversed field configuration (FRC) is formed by reversing the magnetic field of a mirror
configuration using neutral beam injection.
Directional, joule per steradian THz pulses from multi-joule laser irradiation of wires
July 2025 | G. Bruhaug | Physics of Plasmas | Paper
We report on THz pulses with energy flux exceeding 2.5 J/sr and high directionality, generated from picosecond, joule laser irradiation of
microwires. The impact of wire diameter, length, and laser irradiation orientation is explored …
Fast ion stabilization of tilt in large radius FRCs
July 2025 | R.E. Groenewald | Physics of Plasmas | Paper
The field reversed configuration (FRC) has been a curious case in plasma physics research in that early MHD analysis suggested FRCs should be
grossly unstable, while experimental results contradicted that prediction
Why Big Tech is investing billions in fusion

The Future of Fusion: Driving Commercial Success
Reuters Events and the Fusion Industry Association will host a robust conversation on the key challenges to commercializing fusion energy along with strategic solutions to overcome them. The one-hour virtual panel, which will include TAE Chief Growth Officer Jim McNiel, begins at 3:00pm BST / 10:00am EST. Attendees can register at the link and will have access to a replay following the virtual event.
Integral expressions for self and mutual inductances of circular coils with rectangular winding cross sections
June 2025 | A. Ivanov | Review of Scientific Instruments | Paper
The method of extracting inductance based on formulas has been widely used due to its simplicity and efficiency. The literature primarily
includes various formulas for inductance, which have been derived using different approximations.
