Fusion Plasma Exhaust and Materials

A public evidence-to-experiment program focused on the materials, heat-exhaust, disruption-control, tritium, and remote-maintenance constraints that separate short fusion demonstrations from maintainable power systems.

Progress summary

Chartered around the engineering bottlenecks identified by ITER; no completion percentage is asserted.

Live literature pull

Fetch live papers from arXiv, Crossref, PubMed/NCBI, Semantic Scholar, and Europe PMC, then inspect them in the research workbench.

Start here / no biology credential required

Contribute without pretending to be an expert.

Cathedral does not claim one person can solve resistance from a browser. It makes the research legible, separates safe beginner work from specialist judgment, keeps every claim attached to evidence, and routes the hard decisions to biologists, clinicians, epidemiologists, and monitored agents.

2 / Search

Choose an open question and pull live PubMed, Europe PMC, Semantic Scholar, Crossref, and arXiv evidence.

3 / Contribute

Audit study location, mutation, regimen, outcome, and source passage in a structured evidence table.

4 / Validate

Send disputed interpretations and proposed interventions to domain experts; agents handle repeatable surveillance.

Structural biology

PfKelch13 resistance structure lab

Wildtype structures load from AlphaFold DB. Resistance mutants are folded with ESMFold and rendered inline so molecular hypotheses can sit beside the literature.

Unresolved questions Cathedral is tracking.

Open ghost map
openexpert / 2026 / 0 active

How can disruption prediction and control be validated across machines rather than tuned to one tokamak?

The decisive test is generalization across operating regimes and machines, with explicit false-negative costs and intervention timing.

Open canonical question record

openexpert / 2026 / 0 active

Which plasma-facing material system can survive reactor-relevant heat, neutron damage, and maintenance cycles?

Candidate materials must be compared as coupled systems under heat flux, neutron exposure, erosion, activation, manufacturability, and remote replacement constraints.

Open canonical question record

openintermediate / 2026 / 0 active

What heat-exhaust architecture remains maintainable at power-plant duty cycles?

A useful answer must connect plasma physics to component lifetime, tritium inventory, remote handling, downtime, and replacement economics.
