AI Models Revolutionize Plasma Heating Predictions for Fusion Research

This cross section of ITER shows the inner walls of the fusion system. New experimental results suggest that sprinkling boron powder into the vessel could protect the inner walls from the plasma’s heat. Additionally, a new computer modeling framework shows the powder may only need to be sprinkled from one location. (Image credit: ITER Organization)

Sprinkle of boron key to unlocking fusion energy

Concept of a lithium vapor cave, which is proposed to shield the interior of a tokamak from the intense heat generated by plasma.

Pair plasmas found in deep space can now be generated in the lab

This still image from a new simulation shows how plasma from the pedestal region is connected through the supposedly last confinement surface into the divertor plasma region. The long and thin lobes are fluctuating in time and space.

New plasma escape mechanism could protect fusion vessels from excessive heat
