In a paper published in Science, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researchers detail how they used physics-informed deep learning and a cognitive simulation framework to forecast the success of the historic Dec. 5, 2022 fusion ignition shot, predicting a greater than 70% probability that it would exceed the energy breakeven point — producing more energy from the fusion reaction than the laser energy used to drive it

An artist’s interpretation of the inside of a fusion vessel, where some of the inner surfaces are directly exposed to the plasma. Some regions lie in the “magnetic shadow” of other components and are therefore magnetically shielded from the intense heat of the plasma.
