Fusion researchers have successfully deployed machine learning methods to suppress harmful plasma edge instabilities without sacrificing plasma performance. Achieving a sustained fusion reaction is a ...

A new model for ballooning instabilities in apple-shaped fusion vessels considers the height and width of the plasma's edge. Harnessing energy from plasma requires a precise understanding of its ...

Achieving a sustained fusion reaction is a delicate balancing act, requiring a sea of moving parts to come together to maintain a high-performing plasma: one that is dense enough, hot enough, and ...
