Fusion researchers have long known that powerful magnets are the key to turning star-like reactions into a practical power source, and the latest generation of “super magnets” is starting to look less ...

Researchers at a U.S. government nuclear fusion laboratory say they have found a way to downsize the huge magnets that are necessary for controlling fusion plasma in what they think is another step ...

In addition to their use in super magnets, they are employed in the manufacture of catalysts for the oil & gas industry, optical fibers, computer screens, cell phones, military jets, missiles, and ...

Magnesium diboride (MgB 2), a binary compound, behaves as a superconductor – a substance that offers no resistance to electric current flowing through it – at a moderate temperature of around 39 K ...
