Fusion Stellarator Improvement Holds More Heat

April 9, 2020 | Leave a Comment

Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory’s advanced design of the world’s largest and most powerful stellarator demonstrates the ability to moderate heat loss from the plasma that fuels fusion reactions. A key hurdle facing fusion devices called stellarators, those twisty facilities that seek to harness on Earth the fusion reactions that power the sun and stars, has […]

AI Used in Fusion Plasma Modeling

June 5, 2019 | Leave a Comment

Machine learning can help bring to Earth the clean fusion energy that powers the sun and stars. Researchers are using this form of artificial intelligence to create a model for rapid control of plasma – the state of matter composed of free electrons and atomic nuclei, or ions – that fuels fusion reactions. Machine learning […]
