Hold Tight, Nuclear Fusion Is Coming Sooner Than You Think (Thanks To Artificial Intelligence!)
A Deep Dive Into How AI Is Being Used To Make Nuclear Fusion Possible
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.
This story is a deep dive into what nuclear fusion is a…
