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, ...
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 ...
The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (MagLab) has broken another world’s magnet record. This time, MagLab broke a record for a high-temperature superconducting (HTS) coil operating inside a ...
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 ...
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 ...
