THE AI ANGLE
Solving magnetic field equations to model plasma confinementResearchers used Google Gemini 4 Argon to generate new mathematical solutions for magnetic field confinement in fusion reactors. The system found configurations that removed an earlier geometric symmetry restriction. These results give scientists new reference cases to test software that models plasma equilibrium.
