The U.S. national laboratories and universities, along with industrial partners, have a long history of leadership and have made critical contributions to the development of accelerator magnets for ...

A cluster of recent papers from fusion researchers describes faster ways to model the powerful magnets that will sit at the ...

Present-day volume prices of HTSs (high temperature superconducting) wire and tape range from $150 to $200/kA-m (kiloAmps per meter). Many analyses of the commercial viability of superconducting ...

For more than a century, engineers have chased new ways to turn the planet’s natural motions into usable power, from tides to geothermal heat. Now a small group of physicists says Earth’s own magnetic ...

Magnet systems are a critical component of fusion reactor design, playing a decisive role in plasma confinement and overall reactor stability. Recent advances in superconducting technology, with ...

Measuring a magnetic field can be very easy with some pretty low tech, or it can be very high tech. It just depends on what kind of measurement you need and how much effort you want to expend. The ...

Physicists, engineers and technicians at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Particle Accelerator Laboratory, led by Henryk Piekarz, just demonstrated the world’s fastest magnetic ramping ...

There are currently several superconducting materials used for design and fabrication of high-field magnets. 1 The most widely established of them—low-temperature superconductor NbTi—is the workhorse ...
