Alfvén Institute

The Alfvén Institute is a research organization dedicated to studying plasma physics, particularly phenomena related to magnetic fields in plasmas—such as those in space and fusion reactors. Named after Nobel laureate Hannes Alfvén, it explores how magnetic forces influence charged particles, aiming to improve understanding of space weather, solar activity, and developing clean energy through nuclear fusion. The institute collaborates internationally, utilizing advanced experiments and simulations to advance science and technology in these fields.
