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.’ more
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?more
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. more
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.more
His new division investigates dynamic processes in plasmas that occur both in the confinement region and near the wall of nuclear fusion facilities.more
The “International Symposium for Space Simulation” took place at the IPP in Garching from August 1 to 9. IPP Director Prof. Frank Jenko co-organized the conference. He explains what fusion research can learn from astrophysics.
