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.
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.
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.
