Confirmation of the topology of the Wendelstein 7-X magnetic

Research

The research was completed in 2015, however this is a concept that many physicists are still working on because nuclear fusion reactors are a possible power source for the distant future. Right now, the biggest challenge is to achieve a reactor that can operate continuously instead of maybe thirty minutes at a time.

What is the research they are doing?

The Wendelstein 7-X is the most sophisticated but also most successful experimental stellarator to date. It only recently started operating, with the goal to show that previous weaknesses of this concept have been successfully addressed.

The research is currently being conducted by the Max Planck Institute of Plasma Physics in Germany.
