American Fusion Inc. (OTC: AMFN), a developer of next-generation fusion energy technologies, is expanding its scientific team and intellectual property portfolio as it moves its Texatron Fusion Engine program into a more active testing phase. The company recently appointed Dr. Noah D’Amico, a physicist and engineer at Texas Tech University, as a Strategic Advisor. The appointment comes as American Fusion prepares additional Texatron evaluations at Texas Tech and seeks to strengthen the diagnostics and engineering capabilities surrounding the program.
D’Amico continues his work at Texas Tech and BlankSlate Innovation while advising American Fusion. His technical background includes nuclear diagnostics, neutron detection, radiation measurements, vacuum-system design and AI-based analysis of CR-39 nuclear particle tracks. He earned his Ph.D. in Physics from Texas Tech in 2026. His dissertation focused on advanced diagnostic techniques for fusion experiments, which directly aligns with American Fusion’s goals of validating and optimizing its fusion engine.
The company has also filed six additional U.S. patent applications, bringing its total U.S. applications to 82. This expansion of its intellectual property portfolio underscores American Fusion’s commitment to protecting its proprietary technology and maintaining a competitive edge in the fusion energy sector. The patents cover various aspects of the Texatron platform, including plasma confinement, magnetic field control, and fuel delivery systems.
American Fusion has begun testing its Texatron platform at Texas Tech University after completing initial laboratory preparations and verifying its remote ignition system. The next testing phase is expected to examine subsystems including plasma and magnetic-field control, ignition, fuel delivery and electronic components. These tests are critical for validating the performance and reliability of the system under controlled conditions, bringing the company closer to achieving practical fusion energy.
The strategic appointment of Dr. D’Amico and the continued patent filings signal American Fusion’s progress in advancing its fusion technology. As the company intensifies its testing phase, it aims to demonstrate the viability of its approach, which could have significant implications for the future of clean energy. Fusion energy offers the potential for abundant, safe, and carbon-free power, and American Fusion is positioning itself to be at the forefront of this transformative technology.
