Fusion reactors aim to reproduce on Earth what happens in the core of the Sun , where very light elements merge and release energy in the process.

To one day make fusion a feasible energy source, reactors will need to be built with materials that can survive the heat and irradiation generated by fusion reactions.

The world has only about 25 kilograms of tritium commercially available.

As the quest for commercial fusion energy continues, scientists will need to engineer more resilient materials.

By combining experimental and simulation results, analytical AI can recommend combinations that are most likely to have the properties we’re looking for.

The aim is to reduce the number of materials that an engineer would have to produce and test experimentally to save time and money.
