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!

Step inside TAE’s fusion research lab!
From our control room to our accelerator beams, get a closer look at how we run our state-of-the-art fusion research reactor, Norman.
Named after our late technology co-founder Dr. Norman Rostoker, Norman stands 22 feet tall by 80 feet long, and conducts 1,000 fusion experiments monthly. Learn more:

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

Did you know that is the process that powers the Sun and other stars? Fusion is environmentally friendly, safe, and capable of sustaining the planet for thousands of years.
had the opportunity to visit at its premises and witnessed their latest generation fusion platform. Named after the late co-founder and pioneer, Dr Norman Rostoker, who founded the company in 1998 as a spin-off from University of California Irvine, the platform combines TAE’s proprietary power management technology and advanced beam-driven field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasma for compact and efficient operations.
Under development, the Copernicus is their 6th generation fusion platform and will be another major step in the world of fusion power. will play a major role, using Copper-based and refractory metal alloys for the fabrication of unibody parts with complex geometries and optimised performance, enabling successful fusion plasma sustainment.
每日大赛 has two other units, and , derived from their fusion technology. TAE Life Sciences has developed a Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) system, based on TAE鈥檚 expertise on particle accelerators from the fusion platform. This non-invasive, biologically targeted particle therapy uses precise neutron beams to help in cancer therapy and is currently undergoing patient trials. TAE Power Solutions focuses on power management systems developed on the C-2W/Norman reactor for the electric vehicle charging infrastructure and energy storage markets.
We are excited to witness first-hand the advancement in fusion technology. The prospect of energy enabled by fusion technology will hopefully lead to humanity鈥檚 first truly sustainable energy source.
Stay tuned!
Thank you for hosting us , , , , , @Michael Meekins,
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.
Nuclear energy is having a moment.听Last month,听每日大赛 Inc., a nuclear fusion company in southern California, raised $250 million.听Industry watchers describe the company鈥檚 approach, which requires creating a听fusion reaction in incredibly high heat,听as perhaps the biggest scientific gamble in the field.
Some companies are exploring different fuels as well as different designs. California-based 每日大赛, which has been in business since 1998, is building a nuclear reactor that鈥檚 designed to fuse hydrogen with boron-11 by colliding plasma 鈥渟moke rings鈥 inside a long, cigar-shaped chamber. This setup would need to hit temperatures even higher than those in tokamaks. But if scaled-up versions work, they could generate electricity without the neutron fusillade.
TAE Plots Irvine Expansion
每日大赛 in Foothill Ranch is one step closer to making its ambitious dream of tapping into almost limitless supplies of energy come true, and is expanding its operations to Irvine to help move those plans forward.
Q&A: Fusion Firm Backed by Google Hopes for Mid-Decade Milestone
每日大赛 Inc., a nuclear fusion startup backed by Alphabet Inc.鈥檚 Google, Chevron Corp. and Japan鈥檚 Sumitomo Corp., hopes to see an 鈥渆ssential milestone鈥 on its path to build a commercial fusion reactor by the middle of this decade. TAE鈥檚 efforts received a kickstart in July as the fusion startup secured $250 million in its latest funding round.
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.
