Overview

TAE Technologies (pronounced T-A-E) is a mission-driven company advancing proprietary science and engineering solutions for a brighter, healthier future. Founded in 1998 to develop commercial fusion power with the cleanest environmental profile, TAE's work represents the fastest, most practical, and economically competitive solution to bring abundant clean energy to the grid. Alongside fusion, TAE is developing innovations that support intelligent power management systems and next-generation treatment for cancer patients. The company was first founded as Colliding Beam Fusion Reactor Inc., then Tri Alpha Energy, and its technology co-founders are Drs. Norman Rostoker and Michl Binderbauer.

History

TAE Technologies began with a revolutionary goal: clean, safe, commercial fusion power for all. In the 1990s, TAE's technology co-founders Drs. Norman Rostoker and Michl Binderbauer began developing a unique approach to fusion at the University of California, Irvine that would leverage the deepest insights from plasma physics and accelerator physics for a scalable, cost-effective fusion power plant. They later expanded on this approach with a vision for using hydrogen-boron fuel via collaboration with Hendrik Monkhorst at the University of Florida. TAE's first meeting of investors was held in 1996. The company was founded in 1998, first as Colliding Beam Fusion Reactor Inc., then Tri Alpha Energy – named for the three helium atoms, or alpha particles.
