The UK is investing £45 million in “Sunrise,” a powerful AI-driven supercomputer for nuclear fusion research, set to operate in Oxfordshire. It will simulate plasma behavior and enable digital twins of reactors, helping scientists test designs virtually and reduce costly experiments. Using advanced AI and high-performance computing, Sunrise aims to accelerate fusion breakthroughs, support major UK projects like STEP, and strengthen the nation’s AI and energy research capabilities.
