Rock Fusion AI Platform Streamlines the Entire Stellarator Design Workflow
Recently, the AI agent collaboration platform for stellarator design independently developed by Rock Fusion has achieved full coverage of the entire design workflow, encompassing key stages such as zero-dimensional parameter design, plasma configuration optimization and performance analysis, as well as coil engineering feasibility assessment. The company stated that the platform can search over a thousand initial configurations and hundreds of thousands of coil schemes, reducing the typical design iteration cycle from several weeks to several days.

Leveraging this platform, Rock Fusion has completed the full-machine physics design of a medium-sized superconducting stellarator with a major radius of 2 meters and a central magnetic field of 3 tesla. Design work for the company's other devices under development is also being advanced on the same platform. Stellarators rely on external three-dimensional coils to directly generate helical magnetic fields, eliminating the need to sustain magnetic confinement through plasma current. This mechanism inherently reduces the risk of major disruptions faced by tokamaks and offers the potential for long-pulse steady-state operation. In 2025, Germany's Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) stellarator achieved significant progress in the "triple product" metric during long-duration discharges, drawing greater attention to the stellarator route.

Rock Fusion Completes Key Processes for Stellarator 3D Non-Planar Superconducting Prototype Coil
Recently, the stellarator high-strength stainless steel armored 3D non-planar superconducting prototype coil developed by Rock Fusion (Shanghai) Technology Co., Ltd. has completed two key processes: 3D precision winding and ground insulation wrapping. The overall 3D geometric error of the coil is consistently controlled at the millimeter level, indicating that the company has preliminarily established key manufacturing processes including material adaptation, 3D precision forming, and insulation wrapping for high-field steady-state stellarator superconducting magnets. The stellarator is an important device for steady-state controlled nuclear fusion research, and 3D superconducting coils are used to generate the complex magnetic fields required to confine plasma. Unlike conventional planar coils, stellarator coils typically feature non-planar spatial structures with continuously varying curvature...
