In energy research: all IPP areas are dedicated to fusion research Working Area: Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP).

Fusion research at IPP: At the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) in Garching and Greifswald, 11 scientific areas are working on the physical basis for a fusion power plant.Research topics include the confinement of high-temperature hydrogen plasmas in magnetic fields, plasma heating and refilling, plasma property diagnostics, magnetic field technology, data acquisition and processing, systems studies for fusion, as well as plasma theory, materials research and plasma-wall interaction. To this end, IPP operates two large-scale experiments in Garching, the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak and the WENDELSTEIN 7-AS stellarator. The successor WENDELSTEIN 7-X, which is to demonstrate the power plant suitability of the stellarator concept developed at IPP, is being built at the IPP sub-institute in Greifswald (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania), which was founded in 1994.
