flag UK scientists suppressed ELMs and controlled plasma exhaust in a tokamak, advancing fusion energy.

flag Scientists at the UK Atomic Energy Authority’s Culham Campus have successfully suppressed edge localised modes (ELMs) in the MAST Upgrade spherical tokamak, a first for this compact reactor design, using advanced magnetic control to stabilize plasma. flag They also achieved independent control of plasma exhaust in both upper and lower divertors without affecting core performance, a world-first. flag These breakthroughs enhance reactor safety and performance, advancing the UK’s STEP fusion programme and bringing commercial fusion energy closer to reality.
