Fusion, which promises practically unlimited, carbon-free energy using the same processes that power the sun, is at the heart of a worldwide research effort that could help mitigate climate change. A ...

Practical nuclear fusion power could be closer thanks to the application of artificial intelligence to tracking turbulent “blobs” of plasma in prototype reactors. Nuclear fusion is a process that ...

Researchers demonstrated the use of computer-vision models to monitor turbulent structures that appear in plasma created in controlled-nuclear-fusion research. They created a synthetic dataset to ...
