One of the key challenges in getting fusion to produce stable electricity is the unpredictability of superheated plasma, but the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) has made a major breakthrough in this area. The PPPL team has designed and developed a new artificial intelligence that can predict plasma \"tears\" in fusion up to 300 milliseconds in advance, smoothing out irregularities and hopefully avoiding reactor restarts in the future.
