When we think of powerful magnets used in particle accelerators or for NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), we often envision bulky machines, sometimes the size of buildings. But in an extraordinary ...

Researchers at ETH Zürich have built the most powerful miniature superconducting magnets ever demonstrated, potentially opening the door to affordable, lab-scale high-field science. Generating ...

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

Superconductivity is a quantum state of matter characterized by an electrical resistance of zero and the expulsion of ...

New Zealand headquartered space-flight systems company Zenno Astronautics (Zenno) has completed the integration of its world-first superconducting magnetic torquer for fuel-free spacecraft attitude ...

Carl Weggel, the Lead Magnet Designer at Kronos and a pioneer in the magnet technology arena, highlighted the implications of this development, "Our 30-tesla magnet, built on innovative ...

Researchers from the Department of Physics and the University Institute of Materials at the University of Alicante (UA) and the Low Temperature and High Magnetic Field Laboratory at the Autonomous ...

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.

For years, scientists have been trying to replicate the concept of nuclear fusion — the phenomenon that keeps the Sun and other stars alive — and turn it into a working reactor on Earth that can ...

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 ...
