Scientists have developed a new symmetry-based, non-perturbative modeling method that accurately predicts particle escape in fusion reactors, significantly improving speed and reliability over traditional techniques, and advancing the design of safer, more efficient fusion energy systems.

Researchers at Laboratorio Nacional de Fusión–CIEMAT in Madrid have developed a new family of magnetic fields, termed 'piecewise omnigenous,' which could improve plasma confinement in fusion reactors without requiring complex equipment. This approach may simplify the design and construction of stellarators, potentially making fusion energy more feasible. The study, published in Physical Review Letters, suggests that these magnetic fields could offer similar confinement properties to traditional omnigenous fields but with less complexity and cost.
