The Max Planck Society (MPG) honors the two IPP physicists for their outstanding doctoral theses.

Fraunhofer IWS and Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics Develop Innovative Barrier Coatings for Fusion Power Plants

The journal Nature Reviews Physics features a contribution by IPP Director Prof. Frank Jenko on the potential applications of supercomputing and artificial intelligence in fusion research. In the following interview, he explains what these are.

On May 22, the latest experimental campaign concluded at the world’s most powerful nuclear fusion device of the stellarator type. Through collaboration between researchers from Europe and the USA, Wendelstein 7-X achieved, among other milestones, a world record in a key parameter of fusion physics: the triple product. This value now exceeds previous tokamak records for long plasma durations (see UPDATE at the end of the article).

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.
