Tokamak devices use strong magnetic fields to confine and to shape the plasma that contains the fuel that achieves fusion. The shape of the plasma affects the ease or difficulty of achieving a viable ...
The intense heat and pressure inside stars, such as the sun, cause pairs of atoms, especially hydrogen atoms, to come together or 'fuse'. When these light nuclei merge into a heavier nucleus, some ...

Alphabet-owned DeepMind has developed an AI that shows promise for controlling magnetic devices that keep super-hot and unruly plasma in a stable configuration, enabling nuclear fusion for electricity ...
NOTE: This article was originally written for our sister publication, Power Engineering International. A revision of a fundamental law for tokamak fusion energy has doubled the fuel potential, thereby ...
Across decades of development, scientists have been pursuing nuclear fusion technology through endless experiments, calculations and simulations, trying to find the optimal mix of conditions for atoms ...
A study on the deep learning approach has been published in the journal Nature. DeepMind Technologies, based in Britain, is a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., which also owns Google. It has recently used ...
EPFL started up a variable-configuration tokamak reactor in 1992. Today, EPFL is a leading research institute in nuclear fusion, with the goal of replicating on Earth the reactions taking place in the ...
