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 ...

Superconducting magnets discovered by MIT scientists in 2021 are finally ready for fusion reactors, some scientists say. The new type of magnet was developed by researchers at the Plasma Science and ...

Researchers at China's National University of Defence Technology (NUDT) have achieved a major breakthrough in high-speed ...

Superconductivity came with a lot of unfulfilled promises. Power without loss? Sign me up. Superconducting magnetic resonance imaging magnets? They’re, ahem, cool. And CERN couldn’t operate without ...

First, some history: In 1911, Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes discovered the resistance of mercury drops to zero when cooled to 4.2 kelvin (-269°C). The discovery marks the first time science ...

Image is a microphotograph of the fabricated test circuit. Continuous single flux quantum signals are produced by the clock generators at frequencies ranging from approximately 10 GHz to 40 GHz. Each ...
