Researchers at ETH Zürich have built the most powerful miniature superconducting magnets ever demonstrated, ...

Researchers at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida, have pushed a palm-sized superconducting ...

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 ...

Engineers at Florida State University’s National MagLab set a new world record for a resistive magnet, eclipsing the previous one by about 8%—a sizable leap in magnet technology terms. “Resistive ...

Scientists this year took two big steps on what has been a decades-long, slow march to fusion power. Researchers in California used lasers to trigger a record-breaking fusion reaction, while a team in ...

In the field of nuclear fusion some are going big with their pursuit of clean, inexhaustible energy, like those piecing together the seven-story building to house ITER, the world's largest tokamak ...

You’ve probably heard the term magnetic gradient before, but have you ever seen one? Now you can in [supermagnetman’s] video, below. The key is to use very fine (2 micron) iron filings and special ...

It wasn’t a fluke: Researchers at a Department of Energy (DOE) lab have repeated their breakthrough fusion power experiment. Only this time, the results are even better. On July 30, lasers once again ...
