AI to be used to develop nuclear fusion energy

Nuclear fusion scientists have developed a machine learning model to automatically spot and keep track of blobs of plasma that form inside nuclear reactors, paving the way to a better understanding of how plasma behaves. Nuclear fusion is the process of joining atomic nuclei together, which releases energy. It is the same process that powers stars, including our sun. For decades, scientists have tried to harness the energy released by nuclear fusion reactions because of the many potential benefits this form of energy generation would have. Fusion reactions are clean and do not produce greenhouse gases or large amounts of radioactive waste.
