Finding the shadows in a fusion system faster with AI
Plainsboro NJ (SPX) Aug 15, 2025 A public-private partnership between Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS), the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory has led to a new artificial intelligence (AI) approach that is faster at finding what's known as "magnetic shadows" in a fusion vessel: safe havens protected from the intense heat of the plasma. Known as HEAT-ML, the new AI could lay the foundation for software that significantly speeds up the design of future fus ... read more |
