Replacing Tunable Parameters in Weather and Climate Models With State‐Dependent Functions Using Reinforcement Learning

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Weather and climate models rely on parameterizations to represent unresolved sub‐grid processes. Traditional schemes rely on fixed coefficients that are weakly constrained and tuned offline, contributing to persistent biases that limit their ability to adapt to underlying physics.

In Situ Sintering Studies of Reactive Sintered Borides (RSB) Neutron Shielding Materials

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Reactive sintered borides (RSBs) are a family of radiation‐dense materials made by powder metal processing and sintering of elemental precursors. Recent interest in RSBs has focused on their properties as high‐flux low‐activation thermal neutron absorbers for nuclear applications including fusion reactors.

Fluctuating Interfaces in Barotropic Beta‐Plane Turbulence

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Zonal jets manifest themselves as bands with sharp interfaces in the vorticity configuration. We develop an algorithm to track these fluctuating vorticity interfaces and systematically investigate their characteristic spatio‐temporal behaviors.

Auroral Signatures of Ballooning Instability and Plasmoid Formation Processes in the Near‐Earth Magnetotail

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The nonlinear development of ballooning instability and the subsequently induced plasmoid formation in the near‐Earth magnetotail demonstrated in MHD simulations has been proposed as a potential trigger mechanism for substorm onset over the past decade, and their connections to the in situ satellite and ground all‐sky auroral optical ...

Angular dependence measurements of Magnum-PSI plasmas using MAST-U angled-tip Langmuir probes

Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2021
Measurements made using flush-mounted Langmuir probes in tokamaks are difficult to interpret when operating at grazing angles of magnetic field incidence due to the effects of sheath expansion on the probe collection area.

Data readiness pipeline patterns for scientific AI at scale: Insights from climate, fusion, life sciences, and materials

AI Magazine, Volume 47, Issue 1, Spring 2026.
Abstract This article examines how data readiness for AI principles apply to large scientific datasets used to train foundation models. We analyze archetypal workflows across four representative domains—climate, nuclear fusion, life sciences, and materials—to identify common preprocessing patterns and domain‐specific constraints.

Transport of Energetic Ions during Relaxation Oscillations in Plasmas of Spherical Tori [PDF]

, 2001
It is shown that the confinement of trapped energetic ions in spherical tokamaks during MHD events, such as sawtooth oscillations and internal reconnection events (IRE), essentially depends on beta (beta is the ratio of plasma pressure to the magnetic ...
