Max Plank Institute for Plasma Physics

The Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics is a research facility in Germany dedicated to studying plasma, the fourth state of matter found in stars and fusion energy experiments. Scientists at the institute explore how to control plasma to develop sustainable fusion power, a potential source of nearly limitless, clean energy. They also investigate related physics to better understand fundamental processes that occur in high-energy environments. The institute collaborates internationally, using advanced experiments and simulations to advance plasma science and fusion technology, aiming to solve energy challenges and contribute to scientific knowledge about the universe.
