Researchers achieve breakthrough technology that could reshape key energy source: 'A first step … has been made'

Inside a fusion reactor, radiation levels are so intense they can destroy motors, melt materials, and cripple even the most advanced robotic systems. Now, two new machines built in the U.K. may have cracked that challenge, according to Interesting Engineering. As part of the country's Fusion Futures program, the Remote Applications in Challenging Environments initiative is teaming up with companies to build the tech that will keep future fusion …

New AI breakthrough could speed up fusion energy development

A new artificial intelligence tool is helping researchers tackle some challenges within fusion energy by protecting the inside of fusion reactors from the intense heat of plasma Developed through a public-private collaboration, this new AI approach dramatically speeds up critical calculations that are key to designing and operating fusion systems efficiently. Understanding the heat challenge in fusion reactors Fusion energy is the process that p…
