TAE and Japan's National Institute for Fusion Science reported in Nature Communications the first measurements of proton-boron-11 fusion in a magnetically confined plasma using the Large Helical Device, with TAE providing a custom detector for the alpha particles produced by the reaction.

• First measurements of proton-boron-11 fusion in magnetically confined plasma at Large Helical Device
• TAE built specialized detector to measure alpha particles from fusion reaction
• Published in Nature Communications; validates proton-boron fusion approach in laboratory plasma
