If you drop strong magnets onto a plate of copper, something remarkable happens: the magnets slow down before hitting the surface and appear to levitate slightly, like the copper is another magnet, ...

A widely viewed breakdown of recent fusion magnet progress walks through the engineering behind high-field coils, the role of cryogenics and the way these systems interact with plasma control, giving ...

Scientists have broken the record for the strongest continuous magnetic field, according to a new research paper. The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, or MagLab, at Florida State University ...

Little Big Coil: the record-breaking magnet is the size of a toilet roll core. (Courtesy: Stephen Bilenky/National MagLab) The highest continuous magnetic field ever created in the lab has been ...

During a routine test, two HL-LHC magnets unexpectedly flatlined. Was it just a coincidence, or did they have a common foe? The reading on the current-meter was gradually climbing. Until it wasn’t. In ...

Tokamak Energy of the UK announced it has built a world-first set of new generation high temperature superconducting magnets to be assembled and tested in fusion power plant-relevant scenarios.

Scientists are pursuing the proposition of clean and inexhaustible power from nuclear fusion through a variety of experimental reactor designs, and one of the more interesting examples is a roughly ...
