A steel-and-superconductor magnet taller than a five-story building has finally come together in one place. In late May 2026, ...

Magnets and superconductors go together like oil and water—or so scientists have thought. But a new finding by MIT physicists is challenging this century-old assumption. In a paper appearing in the ...

Vortices in superconductors have so far been considered a disruption, as they can impair the superconducting properties.

High-temperature superconductor magnets have the potential to lower the costs of operating particle accelerators and enable powerful new technologies like fusion reactors. But quenches -- the sudden, ...

A research team led by Professor Denver Li Danfeng, Associate Dean (Research and Postgraduate Education) of the College of Science and Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at City ...

One of the Korean researchers working on room temperature superconductors shows a sample with some possible magnetic locking effects. The phenomenon occurred when he found and cut out a part of the ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Ultrathin superconducting wires can withstand stronger magnetic fields than larger wires made from the same material, researchers now report. This finding may be useful for ...

Fabrication and testing of the sixth and final 110-tonne superconducting magnet for the ITER fusion machine's 18-metre-tall central solenoid has been completed in the USA. Assembly of the central ...
