MIT Researchers Advance Nuclear Fusion With AI-Powered Plasma Control Model
MIT researchers have created a physics-informed machine learning model that predicts plasma behavior in fusion reactors. This breakthrough addresses one of nuclear fusion’s biggest challenges: safely controlling plasma during reactor shutdowns.
Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have taken a significant step toward scaling up nuclear fusion energy by developing an AI-powered model that predicts plasma behavior in tokamak reactors. This breakthrough addresses one of the most persistent challenges in making fusion power commercially viable: safely controlling plasma during reactor shutdowns.
