American Fusion Inc. (OTC: AMFN), a developer of next-generation fusion energy technologies, is bolstering its scientific team and intellectual property portfolio as it advances testing of its Texatron Fusion Engine. The company recently appointed Dr. Noah D’Amico, a physicist and engineer at Texas Tech University, as a Strategic Advisor, according to a press release. This move comes as American Fusion prepares for further Texatron evaluations at Texas Tech and seeks to strengthen diagnostics and engineering capabilities.
D’Amico, who continues his work at Texas Tech and BlankSlate Innovation, brings expertise in 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, with a dissertation focusing on related areas. His appointment is expected to enhance American Fusion's ability to measure and analyze fusion reactions, a critical aspect of developing viable fusion energy.
In addition to the advisory appointment, American Fusion has filed six additional U.S. patent applications, bringing its total to 82. This expansion of its intellectual property portfolio underscores the company's commitment to protecting its innovations in fusion technology, which could have significant implications for clean energy production.
The company has also begun testing its Texatron platform at Texas Tech University after completing initial laboratory preparations and verifying its remote ignition system. The next testing phase will examine subsystems including plasma and magnetic-field control, ignition, fuel delivery, and electronic components. These tests are crucial for validating the performance and safety of the fusion engine, bringing the company closer to commercial viability.
The appointment of a strategic advisor with deep technical expertise and the filing of additional patents signal that American Fusion is moving forward with a robust R&D strategy. As the company progresses with its Texatron testing, the insights gained could accelerate the development of fusion energy, which has the potential to provide abundant, clean power.
