Smaller, more powerful magnets could help engineers improve the geometry of spherical tokamaks—fusion reactors that contain superheated plasma.
A group of researchers from Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory found a way to build powerful magnets much smaller than ever before.
Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have found a way to build high-temperature superconducting magnets made of material that conducts electricity with little or no resistance at temperatures warmer than before. Such powerful magnets would more easily fit within the tight space inside...
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have found a way to build powerful magnets smaller than before, aiding the design and construction of machines that could help the world harness the power of the sun to create electricity without producing greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change.
Physicists Hong Qin and Ahmed Diallo recognized for outstanding research at PPPL
