Princeton researchers develop AI for real-time fusion plasma control

Researchers at Princeton and PPPL have developed PACMAN, an AI framework capable of real-time control of fusion plasma. This system can make decisions in approximately 20 milliseconds, and it has demonstrated the ability to anticipate and mitigate instabilities before they escalate. AI

IMPACT This AI framework could accelerate advancements in fusion energy by enabling more precise and responsive control over plasma.
