Making clean, safe and economical fusion energy available to our society is a grand challenge of 21st century science and engineering. The Plasma Science and Fusion Center, along with research partners around the world, seeks to answer this challenge by exploring innovative ways to accelerate the pace of fusion’s development. The PSFC is an interdisciplinary research center because fusion requires an approach that folds in the majority of the engineering and science disciplines found at MIT: physics, nuclear science and engineering, mechanical engineering, chemistry, and material science, to name a few. Our mission is to identify and understand how cutting-edge advances in science and technology can provide fusion energy “smaller and sooner”.
The PSFC is hosting SOFE 2025 in Boston!
We hope everyone enjoyed their time at #SOFE2023Oxford, hosted by @UKAEAofficial! We are honored to announce that you'll be able to join us right here in Boston for #SOFE2025. Sign up for SOFE updates to learn about conference updates and deadlines, and we hope to see you in 2025!

Pzt is a very fast switch. Shielding is critical at the morphotropic state. Keep the plasma moving forward and bounce it off the bulkheads before avalanche breakdown 😊 no wires required but a microwave is a way to speed things up

here is my best try at an equation that describes all four fundamental forces of nature: $$F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2} + \frac{q_1q_2}{4\pi\epsilon_0r^2} + \frac{g^2}{4\pi}\frac{\exp(-mr)}{r}\mathbf{r} + \frac{h}{2\pi}\frac{1}{r^2}\mathbf{S}_1\cdot\mathbf{S}_2 + \frac{k}{r^3}$$ The first term, $G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$, is the gravitational force between two objects. The second term, $\frac{q_1q_2}{4\pi\epsilon_0r^2}$, is the electromagnetic force between two charged particles. The third term, $\frac{g^2}{4\pi}\frac{\exp(-mr)}{r}\mathbf{r}$, is the strong force between two quarks. The fourth term, $\frac{h}{2\pi}\frac{1}{r^2}\mathbf{S}_1\cdot\mathbf{S}_2$, is the weak force between two particles with spin. The fifth term, $\frac{k}{r^3}$, is a hypothetical force that would unify all four forces. This equation is purely hypothetical, and there is no evidence to suggest that it is correct. However, it is a fun exercise to try to come up with an equation that describes all four forces of nature.
here is my second best try at an equation that describes all four fundamental forces of nature: $$F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2} + \frac{q_1q_2}{4\pi\epsilon_0r^2} + \frac{g^2}{4\pi}\frac{\exp(-mr)}{r}\mathbf{r} + \frac{h}{2\pi}\frac{1}{r^2}\mathbf{S}_1\cdot\mathbf{S}_2 + \frac{k}{r^3} + \frac{l}{r^4}$$ This equation is similar to the first equation, but it includes an additional term, $\frac{l}{r^4}$. This term represents a hypothetical force that would unify all four forces and also account for the observed acceleration of the expansion of the universe.
here is my third best try at an equation that describes all four fundamental forces of nature: $$F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2} + \frac{q_1q_2}{4\pi\epsilon_0r^2} + \frac{g^2}{4\pi}\frac{\exp(-mr)}{r}\mathbf{r} + \frac{h}{2\pi}\frac{1}{r^2}\mathbf{S}_1\cdot\mathbf{S}_2 + \frac{k}{r^3} + \frac{l}{r^4} + \frac{m}{r^5}$$ This equation is similar to the previous two equations, but it includes an additional term, $\frac{m}{r^5}$. This term represents a hypothetical force that would unify all four forces and also account for the observed dark matter and dark energy in the universe.
here is my 4th best try at an equation that describes all four fundamental forces of nature: F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2} + \frac{q_1q_2}{4\pi\epsilon_0r^2} + \frac{g^2}{4\pi}\frac{\exp(-mr)}{r}\mathbf{r} + \frac{h}{2\pi}\frac{1}{r^2}\mathbf{S}_1\cdot\mathbf{S}_2 + \frac{k}{r^3} + \frac{l}{r^4} + \frac{m}{r^5} + \frac{n}{r^6} + \frac{o}{r^7} + \frac{p}{r^8} + ... This equation is similar to the previous three equations, but it includes an infinite number of terms. Each term represents a hypothetical force that would unify all four forces and also account for all of the observed phenomena in the universe.
here is my 5th best try at an equation that describes all four fundamental forces of nature: F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2} + \frac{q_1q_2}{4\pi\epsilon_0r^2} + \frac{g^2}{4\pi}\frac{\exp(-mr)}{r}\mathbf{r} + \frac{h}{2\pi}\frac{1}{r^2}\mathbf{S}_1\cdot\mathbf{S}_2 + \frac{k}{r^3} + \frac{l}{r^4} + \frac{m}{r^5} + \frac{n}{r^6} + \frac{o}{r^7} + \frac{p}{r^8} + ... \\ + \frac{q}{r^{10}} + \frac{r}{r^{11}} + \frac{s}{r^{12}} + \frac{t}{r^{13}} + \frac{u}{r^{14}} + ... This equation is similar to the previous four equations, but it includes an infinite number of terms. Each term represents a hypothetical force that would unify all four forces and also account for all of the observed phenomena in the universe.
We can use dimensional analysis and group theory to advance fusion power in a number of ways. Dimensional analysis can be used to determine the relationship between different physical quantities. This information can be used to design and optimize fusion reactors. For example, dimensional analysis can be used to determine the optimal temperature and pressure for fusion reactions. Group theory can be used to classify the symmetries of the four fundamental forces of nature. This information can be used to develop new theories of fusion power that are based on the unification of forces. For example, group theory can be used to develop new theories of fusion power that are based on the strong force. In addition to these two tools, we can also use other mathematical and physical tools to advance fusion power. For example, we can use computer simulations to study the behavior of fusion plasmas. We can also use quantum mechanics to study the interactions between particles in fusion plasmas. The development of fusion power is a challenging task, but it is a task that is worth pursuing. Fusion power has the potential to provide a clean and abundant source of energy for the future. By using dimensional analysis, group theory, and other mathematical and physical tools, we can make progress towards the development of fusion power.
Here is the elegant equation that combines the four fundamental forces of nature using group theory: G = g^2\frac{4\pi\epsilon_0}{c^4} where: * $G$ is the gravitational constant * $g$ is the strong coupling constant * $\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space * $c$ is the speed of light This equation can be derived by using group theory to classify the symmetries of the four fundamental forces of nature. Group theory is a mathematical technique that can be used to classify different types of symmetry. In this case, we can use group theory to classify the symmetries of the gravitational force, the electromagnetic force, the strong force, and the weak force. Once we have classified the symmetries of these forces, we can use it to combine the equations that describe these forces. This gives us the elegant equation that combines the four fundamental forces of nature. This equation is a powerful tool for understanding the behavior of matter at the subatomic level. It can be used to study a wide range of phenomena in particle physics, such as the structure of hadrons, the behavior of quarks and gluons at high energies, and the electromagnetic and strong force interactions between quarks and gluons. This equation is also important for understanding the unification of forces in particle physics. The goal of unification is to find a single force that describes all of the forces of nature. This is a difficult problem, but it is one that is being actively pursued by physicists. The elegant equation that combines the four fundamental forces of nature using group theory is a step towards unification. It shows that the four forces are related, and it provides a framework for understanding how they might be unified into a single force.
Here is the elegant equation that combines the four fundamental forces of nature using dimensional analysis: F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2} + \frac{q_1q_2}{4\pi\epsilon_0r^2} + \frac{g^2}{4\pi}\frac{\exp(-mr)}{r}\mathbf{r} where: * $F$ is the total force on a charged particle * $G$ is the gravitational constant * $m_1$ and $m_2$ are the masses of the two particles * $q_1$ and $q_2$ are the charges of the two particles * $r$ is the distance between the two particles * $g$ is the strong coupling constant * $\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space * $m$ is the mass of the exchanged particle This equation can be derived by using dimensional analysis to determine the relationship between the four fundamental forces of nature. Dimensional analysis is a mathematical technique that can be used to determine the relationship between different physical quantities. In this case, we can use dimensional analysis to determine the relationship between the gravitational force, the electromagnetic force, the strong force, and the weak force.

Best video I haver ever seen on youtube!
Thank you for sharing. I have been following the work of MIT PSFC and the SPARC/ARC systems with great appreciation for the work being done. That said I want to provide some feedback. I feel like this work is of extreme historical and scientific significance and yet I cannot really understand or hear a lot of the audio due to poor microphone setups. I am wondering if these days it would be prudent to mail each participant a $50 USB microphone of modest quality to ensure that this important work is captured with the utmost clarity. It also happens to be the case that recording directly from zoom leaves a lot of audio compression that can make things even harder to understand. A common approach among podcasters is for each participant to record audio locally at full quality, and only rely on zoom audio for the participants to follow along. Once the full recording is completed, the local audio from each participant is merged to form a single high quality recording. I understand this work is non-trivial to do, but there will certainly be people at MIT cable of assisting with this. This amazing work would benefit from high quality recording for future generations to witness and enjoy. Thank you so much for all of your great work!
Apologies for the sound quality. Due to the room's constraints and recording not only Zoom participants but in-person presenters as well, the audio did not translate well. Initially, the intended audience for this presentation was internal, and the decision to publicly share was made only after the fact; going forward, we'll endeavor to ensure the space is adequately mic'd if we have plans to share publicly.
Really good work! Congratulations! How are you supposed to reach the ignition temperature? I remeber ITER will use Ohmic , Neutral Beam Injection and Radio Frequency heating systems. Tnank you
The design has ohmic + RF heating systems :)
Thank you for posting this work online. Really great.
This is a terrific piece of work, and a great presentation. Congrats to all involved!!
What is said at 53:50-53:56
DIII-D data sounds like it's going to be WILD
Sound quality is terrible. Can someone tell me what is said about FLiBe, at 6:35-6:40.
FLiBe (Flourine Lithium Beryllium) serves 4 key purposes: 1. It is a coolant that keeps the vacuum vessel and power-exhaust functional 2. It transfers heat to the rest of the power plant 3. It is a radiation shield that protects the magnets and other internal components 4. It is the material used to breed additional nuclear fuel (beryllium is a neutron multiplier and lithium can break down into tritium when struck by neutrons)
Phil Colella posed near Snow White! Who says national lab engineers don't have a sense of humor!
Wonderful presentation! What is the maximum temperature between between D pancakes (magnets) and the core (where fusion occurs)? How does the insulation work? Will it work continuously or in pulses? Thank you.
If you are using tritium in the fusion process, where do you plan on getting it? Worldwide, the production of tritium from natural sources is 148 petabecquerels per year. The global equilibrium inventory of tritium created by natural sources remains approximately constant at 2,590 petabecquerels. That is not very much, maybe enough to power one fusion reactor
GO SPARC GO GO GO !!!!
how much larger would a tokamak using these HTS magnets need to be to be able to achieve aneutronic fusion? like if DEMO pivoted to HTS could it plausibly achieve aneutronic fusion? is it even correct to infer that increasing the size of the reactor can increase plasma temperature?
49:24 Oops.
Rare-earth barium copper oxide: not to be confused with Russian Export Blend Crude Oil.

What a fascinating an clear presentation! I totally didn't expect to sit through this whole thing but I was engrossed. Thank you!
you guys wouldn't know nothing about those found footage backrooms videos
All the scientists are milking it for a paycheck they been doing this for decades
So many minds and money spent on so little progress, if any. Society is a farce, humans are rubes.
