New research published in Physical Review Letters suggests that superconducting magnets used in dark matter detection experiments could function as highly precise gravitational wave detectors, thereby ...

Scientists in Switzerland have begun the cooldown of a 312-foot-long test stand for the ...

Ezio Todesco charts the future of high-field dipole magnets – a technology set to advance the boundaries of high-energy physics and the societal applications of superconductivity.

China achieves a superconducting magnet of 35.6 teslas, 700,000 times stronger than Earth's magnetic field, setting a world record.

High-field magnets promise a double benefit: they can raise the pressure of the plasma, which boosts the fusion reaction rate, and they can shrink the overall size of the machine, which cuts cost and ...

Magnetic invisibility sounds simple in theory. Place the right materials around an object and magnetic fields flow around it as if nothing were there. Reality has been far messier. For nearly two ...

High temperature superconducting (HTS) flux pumps and magnet systems have emerged as a promising technology for achieving persistent current operation without reliance on bulky current leads. By ...

A new 20 Tesla Superconducting magnet reduces the cost per watt of a fusion reactor by a factor of almost 40. MIT worked with Commonwealth Fusion Systems, a startup with over $2 billion in funding.

Magnesium diboride (MgB2) superconducting magnets represent a transformative advance in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology. Owing to its relatively higher superconducting transition ...

able insulation is a vital element in the design and fabrication of high-field superconducting magnets. Insulation must ensure the electrical integrity of both turn-turn and turn-ground windings. It ...

Under the right conditions, superconducting magnets allow electricity to flow essentially undisturbed, producing intense magnetic fields for a variety of uses, including nuclear fusion experiments.
