An interesting event made it to the top Science and Engineering headlines this week.

The event — Princeton Researchers at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility in San Diego took a giant leap towards the creation of clean energy using nuclear fusion.

They trained an AI algorithm to stabilise the previously unstable plasma generated within a nuclear fusion reactor.

This might not surprise you but this is big!

How big, you might ask?

If solved, fusion power would provide humanity with a nearly inexhaustible energy supply.

This means an end to burning fossil fuel for electricity creation, an endless supply of pure water from seawater, and a never-ending energy source to launch as many spaceships as desired.

This scenario sounds super utopian, and I am quite optimistic that this might become our new reality sooner than we imagine.
