Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics
The Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) is a leading research institution in Germany focused on plasma physics and fusion energy. Established in 1960, it conducts fundamental research to understand plasma behavior and develop technologies for future energy sources, particularly nuclear fusion.
The institute operates major facilities, including the Wendelstein 7-X, a stellarator designed to explore advanced confinement methods for plasma. Researchers at the IPP collaborate with international partners to advance knowledge in plasma physics, contributing to the global effort to harness fusion as a sustainable energy solution.
