Before scientists can effectively capture and deploy fusion energy, they must learn to predict major disruptions that can halt fusion reactions and damage the walls of doughnut-shaped fusion devices called tokamaks. Today, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) and Princeton University are employing artificial intelligence to improve predictive capability....

Another important distinction is Skychain's use of distributed computing technologies based on the blockchain principles. Many thousands of crypto miners will provide their computational resources to Skychain to get a reward each time an independent neural network performs calculations at the request of an end user, or each time a neural network is trained at the request of its developer. It means that Skychain's end users and neural network developers won't need to bother about obtaining any special hardware or computational resources.
