Superconductors Impact Tokamak Fusion Reactor Design
August 13, 2015 | 2 Comments
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers are using advances in magnet technology to propose a new design for a practical compact tokamak fusion reactor. It’s one that might be realized in as little as a decade, they say. They suggest the era of practical fusion power, which could offer a nearly inexhaustible energy resource, may […]

New Information on Superconductors Found
May 27, 2014 | Leave a Comment
Scientists researching superconductors at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) have discovered a previously unknown phase in a class of superconductors called iron arsenides. The discovery offers new information on a debate over the interactions between atoms and electrons that are responsible for their unusual superconductivity. Ray Osborn, an Argonne physicist and […]

The Strongest Magnet Attempt
November 9, 2009 | 6 Comments
The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee Florida has been awarded nearly $3 million to build a novel kind of superconducting magnet that’s expected to break records for magnetic field strength, make possible new types of science and save vast amounts of energy and money. Of interest is the technologies that could benefit from […]
