flag UK scientists stabilized fusion plasma and controlled heat in a tokamak, reaching 35 million°C, advancing clean energy goals.

flag British scientists at the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy have stabilized turbulent plasma in the MAST-U spherical tokamak, suppressing damaging edge-localized modes for the first time using magnetic fields. flag They also achieved independent control of the reactor’s upper and lower divertors, a key step for managing heat and particles. flag The experiment reached temperatures over 35 million degrees Celsius, advancing the UK’s fusion research and bringing practical, carbon-free energy closer to reality, with a prototype power station targeted for the 2040s.
