Watch iconic fusion energy machine’s 100,000th ‘pulse’
Iconic fusion energy machine JET – which reaches controlled temperatures 10 times hotter than the core of the sun – completed its 100,000th live pulse last night.

Fusion energy promises a step change in the way the world’s future energy demands are met in a low-carbon, safe and sustainable way.
The team behind the complex engineering of UKAEA’s new fusion experiment, MAST Upgrade, have been recognised with a prestigious industry award.
A new, multi-wavelength imaging (MWI) camera diagnostic fitted on MAST Upgrade, will offer scientists a picture of the impact that the machine’s Super X divertor design has on the hot, charged plasma.
Culham’s fusion technology programme is expanding to a new site in South Yorkshire – and here is a sneak preview of the newly-opened facility.
British astronaut, and former International Space Station crew member, Tim Peake, visited Culham on Wednesday 26 May to officially open the MAST Upgrade fusion experiment.
Culham scientists have successfully tested a world-first concept that could clear one of the major hurdles in developing fusion energy.
UKAEA and its fusion research arm Culham Centre for Fusion Energy have carried out a pilot project working with five companies to tackle some of fusion energy’s most complex challenges.
Construction of a unique testing machine for fusion components is underway at UKAEA.
UKAEA and SciVista, Inc have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding that will provide opportunities for advanced learning in fusion science.
