For one week, students joined us at IPP Greifswald for the #SummerUniversity to explore #plasmaphysics and #fusionresearch. The programme covered a broad range of topics, with plenty of opportunities for discussion and networking during excursions and shared meals.

💥Congrats💥 to UC San Diego Professor of Physics Pat Diamond on receiving American Physical Society's 2026 James Clerk Maxwell Prize for #PlasmaPhysics. Pat was recognized for his theoretical contributions to the statistical dynamics and self-organization in plasmas.

The Scientific Operation campaign OP2.4 began last week at Wendelstein 7-X in Greifswald. Until mid-December, around 60 to 100 plasma discharges will be generated on each of the experiment days.

A member of staff is sitting in the Wendelstein 7-X control room in front of several monitors displaying measurement data and control software. Above this, on a blue background, it reads: ‘Wendelstein 7-X Scientific operations started’.
The campaign topics:

More precise control of plasma power and plasma profiles

Maintaining plasma stability at high pressure

Generation and analysis of fast, high-energy ions in the plasma

Investigation of new operating modes to prevent impurities in the plasmaDevelopment of plasma states with particularly good confinement

Analysis of material load on the plasma vessel walls

Longer discharges with high energy turnover (goal: at least 6 GJ)

Validation of computer models

Technical supplement to Episode 9. #1

What does it take to hold a star for a fraction of a second?

Inertial confinement, target gain versus wall-plug reality, and engineering wall that still separates ignition from a power plant.
