DeepMind finds new counterexamples to Grad's conjecture in plasma physics
AISummary
Google DeepMind says researchers found new 3D magnetic field designs that disprove Grad's conjecture, a roughly 60-year-old assumption in plasma physics. The work used Gemini 4 Argon and is described in a new paper with researchers at the University of Maryland.

We’ve found 2 new families of counterexamples to the long-standing (nearly 60-year-old) Grad’s conjecture in plasma physics using Gemini 4 Argon in our new paper, with Jonathan Citrin, Brendan Tracey, Matt Landreman at the University of Maryland: https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.07304!View quoted post on X
