Billion-times more efficient nuclear fusion could be unlocked with low-frequency lasers
A team of researchers has identified a mechanism that could lower the extreme temperature requirements for controlled nuclear fusion. The study reveals that intense low-frequency lasers are ...
AI enters fusion: Machine learning algorithms are now embedded in tokamak control systems to predict and prevent plasma instabilities known as tearing modes. Why it matters: Tearing modes can cause ...
Image of digital twin control, in which real plasma is controlled by virtual plasma reproduced on a computer. In this research, we developed a digital twin control system that can estimate optimal ...
A portentous rumor is spreading fast through U.S. atomic industry: that a “controlled fusion” (hydrogen) reactor has been or may soon be achieved. Nothing has come into the open, and Atomic Energy ...
