With their innovative design, tokamak reactors are leading the charge in fusion research, aiming to unlock the potential of ...

ITER has devised the technology that could unlock fusion energy, and they've done so with the aid of a 60-foot magnet. Here's ...

Understanding the magnetic materials inside devices like chokes and transformers can help guide engineers to make smart selections that lead to significantly higher power ...

Some heavy hitters like Intel, IBM, and Google along with a growing number of smaller startups for the past couple of decades have been pushing the ...

The Solar Orbiter is the first spacecraft to study the Sun's poles - and finds the magnetic field in a state of flip ...

The 19-foot toroidal field (TF) magnet carries up to 4 million amps of electric current to stabilize and confine the superhot plasma in fusion experiments. It will eventually connect to 12 TF ...

With the Kentucky Derby in the rearview mirror and the calendar flipped to May, it's time for the Preakness Stakes. As is always the case, the field for the Preakness Stakes will look a whole lot ...

First conceived of by Igor Tamm and Andrei Sakharov in the 1950s, tokamaks use a toroidal magnetic field to contain the hydrogen plasma to help keep it at the sun-like pressure and temperature ...

Toroidal field coils (D-shaped magnets, completed in late 2023) Each coil: 17 meters high × 9 meters wide Weight: ~360 tons each Fabricated in Europe (Italy) and Japan ...

Europe has also delivered 10 of ITER’s Toroidal Field magnets and has produced a substantial portion of the Niobium-Tin (Nb3Sn) superconductors used in these TF magnets.

Then they ran 1,000 amps of electrical current through the windings, creating a model of a superconducting toroidal field coil. This powerful, compact field coil is used to generate an extremely ...
