The researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are taking a decisive step in the mastery of nuclear fusion. Their deep learning model is now able to anticipate with remarkable precision the results of complex experiments conducted at the National Ignition Facility. Published in the journal Science, this system of AI has demonstrated its superiority by correctly predicting the outcome of an attempt ... Read more The article Artificial …

On May 17, 2025, the National Ignition Facility (NIF) of the U.S. Department of Energy had reached a new goal in the research on nuclear fusion with inertial confinement. A record experiment was obtained in NIF labs in California. It had allowed to produce 8.60 Megajoules (MJ) of energy from an experimental reactor to nuclear fusion by injecting with lasers only 2.05 Megajoules. A gain of 319%. It had been more than doubled the result of 3.5 MJ …
