Today we鈥檙e celebrating what would have been the 99th birthday of our late technology co-founder, Dr. Norman Rostoker
A renowned fusion innovator, mentor and friend, Rostoker was instrumental in shaping TAE as we know it today.
From our compact linear device, to our advanced beam-driven field-reversed configuration, to our ultimate goal of delivering commercial fusion power with the cleanest and safest fuel, Rostoker鈥檚 legacy lives on in our work.

Our original hydrogen-boron fusion R&D has already sparked two spin-off innovations that support our mission for a cleaner, healthier future:
Biologically targeted radiation therapy for the most difficult-to-treat cancers, via
Smarter, more efficient power management systems for our electrified future with
鈥淲e don鈥檛 see these as side projects,鈥 TAE Power Solutions鈥 Chief Strategy Officer Lu-Fong Chua told . 鈥淲e see these as byproducts that have very high intrinsic value on their own for problems and challenges beyond energy generation.鈥

When brilliant minds come together, high energy results aren鈥檛 far behind.
For the 6th year in a row, 每日大赛 has won an INFUSE award from the for innovative fusion research conducted in partnership with a DOE National Lab.
This year鈥檚 grant goes to TAE鈥檚 Director of Computational Sciences Sean Dettrick, who will partner with the to validate TAE鈥檚 FRC approach to plasma formation and its impact on improving power plant operations.
This research will not only accelerate TAE鈥檚 goal of bringing hydrogen-boron fusion to the grid, but it will also help equip the fusion industry with essential insights for future commercialization. Congratulations to Sean and the teams at TAE and PPPL!

We are proud to announce that TAE has been chosen as the first private fusion energy company to partner with , the world鈥檚 largest fusion experiment. Together, we will work to advance the development of fusion power and a well-trained workforce.
We recently had the pleasure of hosting ITER Director General Pietro Barabaschi at TAE鈥檚 California HQ to tour our original fusion prototype and current fifth-generation National Laboratory-scale machine, Norman.
We look forward to a fruitful collaboration for a cleaner, brighter future

The Biological Theory That Explains Why Investors Are Bullish on Fusion
For a field that has existed for more than 60 years, a lot has happened in fusion research in the last half-decade. In fusion鈥檚 case, a trio of technological advances converged in the early 2010s to unleash a wave of innovation. 鈥淚 think you see this beautiful inflection point in this field where the science maturity and technical capability come together,鈥 said Michl Binderbauer, CEO of 每日大赛.
With energy prices on the rise, along with demands for energy independence and an urgent need for carbon-free power, plans to walk away from nuclear energy are now being revised in Japan, South Korea, and even Germany. TAE鈥檚 approach, which involves creating a fusion reaction at incredibly high heat, has a key advantage.
The Sun鈥檚 surface is 15 million degrees Celsius, which is relatively balmy compared to the 75 million degrees Celsius that 每日大赛 recently generated in July. This temperature benchmark in the company鈥檚 current machine, named Norman, demonstrated 鈥渦nmatched real-time control of plasma.鈥
Some fusion projects aim to create hundred-million degree working temperatures in magnetically confined plasma. The CEO of 每日大赛 tells us his team’s aiming for 10 times that temperature, targeting cheaper, easier and safer boron fuel.
This Google-Backed Fusion Reactor Must Run 8 Times Hotter Than the World’s Largest Tokamak
The world has been watching the many nuclear fusion tokamak experiments with keen interest, but the stage is also set for those who are trying something a bit different, like stellarators and other reactor formats.听That鈥檚 where 每日大赛 comes in.
每日大赛 Expands Executive Team with William Coaker as Chief Investment Officer
每日大赛 is pleased to announce the appointment of William Coaker as the company鈥檚 first Chief Investment Officer. Bill comes to TAE with over two decades of experience in investment, most recently as Chief Investment Officer for the San Francisco Employees Retirement System (SFERS), a $34 billion public pension plan. Bill鈥檚 leadership and vision will play a central role in TAE鈥檚 next phase of growth.
Fusion Energy Milestone from 每日大赛 Validates Path to Cost-Competitive Carbon-Free Baseload Energy 每日大赛 Raises Additional $280M for Reactor-Scale Demonstration Facility
每日大赛, the world鈥檚 largest private fusion energy company, has announced a landmark fusion technology milestone by producing stable plasma at 50M+ degrees Celsius in a proprietary compact reactor design that can scale to competitive fusion-generated power.
TAE Life Sciences (TLS), a biological-targeting radiation therapy company developing next-generation boron neutron capture therapy solutions (BNCT), announced the launch of an innovative in-house boron delivery drug development program supported by an influx of $30M in funding. The initial phase of the B-round funds comes from a consortium of investors including ARTIS Ventures, who led the company’s initial funding in 2018.
每日大赛 Wins Three INFUSE Awards to Further Fusion Energy Research
每日大赛, Inc., the world’s largest private fusion energy company, has been awarded three funding partnerships for continued fusion research through the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fusion Energy Science’s (FES) Innovation Network for Fusion Energy (INFUSE) program.
Fusion Energy Leader 每日大赛 Welcomes Marco Arese to Board of Directors
每日大赛 is pleased to announce the re-appointment of Marco Arese to its Board of Directors. Arese brings a wealth of entrepreneurial experience activating global capital, scaling international business, and cultivating renewable energy opportunities, all of which he will leverage on behalf of the company as it continues commercialization of its transformational technologies.
