Plasma research

Plasmas are everywhere – in the vast expanses of the universe and all around us. This research focus aims to understand them in detail.

Collaborative Research Centres

This Collaborative Research Centre explores how the non-equilibrium property of plasma can be transferred on contact with liquids and solids.

The Collaborative Research Centre combines the subfields of astrophysics, plasma physics, astroparticle physics and particle physics.

Completed Collaborative Research Centre

Plasmakammer

The Collaborative Research Centre researches into novel materials using plasma technology.

Collaborations

The Ruhr Astroparticle and Plasma Physics Center was founded in order to combine research efforts within the fields of plasma, particle, and astrophysics in the Ruhr area.

This Research Department focuses on areas that have hitherto been virtually unknown and which are characterized by complex interactions of plasmas with their environment.

Participations in large-scale research projects

The Bochum researchers participate in numerous large-scale research projects like the Neutrino Observatory IceCube.
