Physicists have created a new computer code that could speed up the design of the complicated magnets that shape the plasma in stellarators, making the systems simpler and more affordable to build.

Like engineers who design high-performance Formula One race cars, scientists want to create high-performance plasmas in twisty fusion systems known as stellarators. Achieving this performance means ...

Álvaro Sánchez Villar, an associate research physicist at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, has developed new AI models for plasma heating that increase the ...

Fusion energy may be one of the most promising clean power sources of the future—but only if scientists can precisely measure the extreme, fast-moving plasmas that make it possible. A new U.S.
