Using artificial intelligence to speed up and improve the most computationally-intensive aspects of plasma physics in ... - EurekAlert


Researchers at the Department of Energy&rsquo;s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) are using artificial intelligence to perfect the design of the vessels surrounding the super-hot plasma, optimize heating methods and maintain stable control of the reaction for increasingly long periods. A new paper published in <em>Nature Communications </em>demonstrates PPPL&#39;s expertise in this area. The paper explains how the researcher team used machine learning to avoid magnetic perturbations, or disruptions, which destabilize fusion plasma.
