Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) evidence a physical phenomenon that suppresses these energy eruptions in tokamaks. Their results have now been published in the journal ‘Nature Physics.’
Using a new approach, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Greifswald have developed a stellarator design that fulfils all the basic physics requirements for a viable fusion power plant. What is behind the concept?
The Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) mourns the loss of its former Scientific Director, who passed away on 10 October 2024 at the age of 80.
After a one-year maintenance phase, the world's largest and most powerful stellarator resumes experimental operation with significant improvements. One of the goals: The plasma temperature is to be increased step by step.
IPP is dedicated to training outstanding young scientists, from providing practicals for undergraduates, then bachelor, master and PhD theses, to the presentation of comprehensive courses of graduate study.
