Every gas leaves a distinct fingerprint in light. At Augsburg’s MINT Summer School, glass ampoules were turned into plasmas using an electromagnetic field. The third from the left glows like the hydrogen and deuterium plasmas in W7-X and ASDEX Upgrade. #physics

Our founders worked at MIT's Alcator C-Mod. We have senior staff who worked on JET and ASDEX Upgrade. Our head of plasma physics was at DIII-D. We have a deep program of collaboration with researchers around the world. We benefit very directly from accumulated tokamak expertise.

We just can’t get enough of such cool photos!
Following a break for maintenance and refurbishment, our ASDEX Upgrade tokamak in Garching was brought back online two weeks ago. The 360-degree photo was taken shortly before the vessel was sealed.

"Wendelstein 7-X ist das direkte Nachfolgeexperiment von W7-AS"
Letzterer 1988 gebaut, und 7-x ist ja auch <20 Jahre alt. Ein Neuling. Warten wirs mal ab, bis er erwachsen ist. ASDEX in Garching ist doppelt so alt, 36.
So ab 50-60 Jahre Alter wird das vielleicht was in MeckPomm.👍

We opened the vacuum vessel of ASDEX Upgrade and found a white crystal layer. It forms through chemical reactions between water and boron, introduced during the regular boronisation process. We sprayed distilled water and wiped it off with a cloth. The layer appears after each experiment campaign.

Wendelstein 7-X und ASDEX Upgrade sind beides Fusionsreaktoren. Aber keine Fusionskraftwerke. Die Union und der Koalitionsvertrag sprachen von Fusionsreaktoren. Mir ist klar, dass die Kraftwerke meinten. Kann man machen, weil weder die CDUler, noch deren Wähler den Unterschied gebacken kriegen.
