World's Largest Stellarator W7-X Launches New Experimental Campaign to Pursue Long Pulses
Recently, Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X), the world's largest and most complex stellarator fusion device operated by the Max-Planck-Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) in Germany, has officially launched its latest OP2.4 experimental campaign. This three-month experiment has attracted over one hundred top scientists from approximately 20 laboratories across Europe and around the world, jointly advancing stellarator technology toward longer pulses and higher performance. It is understood that the OP2.4 experiment will focus on three key research areas: high-performance plasmas, fast ions and turbulent transport, and long-pulse operation. Sci...
