Wladimir Zholobenko's dissertation enables realistic simulations of turbulence at the edge of nuclear fusion reactors built according to the tokamak principle for the first time. more

The Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) will work with the start-up Proxima Fusion, the first spin-out company in the history of the IPP, to further develop the stellarator concept. more

A magnetic cage keeps the more than 100 million degree Celsius hot plasmas in nuclear fusion devices at a distance from the vessel wall so that they do not melt. Now researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) have found a way to significantly reduce this distance. This could make it possible to build smaller and cheaper fusion reactors for energy production. more

After successful recommissioning in autumn 2022, the Greifswald nuclear fusion experiment has surpassed an important target. more
