An illustration depicts pairs of superconducting electrons in rhombohedral graphene (the middle lattice structure) that spin in clockwise or counterclockwise direction (corresponding to blue and red ...

In a landmark achievement for fusion energy, ITER has completed all components for the world’s largest, most powerful pulsed superconducting electromagnet system. ITER is an international ...

When scientists cooled rhombohedral graphene to a very low temperature, it behaved like both a superconductor and magnet at the same time. As scientists did not think this was possible, this ...

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 ...

Magnetic levitation systems harness the unique properties of high-temperature superconductors and permanent magnets to achieve frictionless, contactless motion. The core principle underpinning these ...

Magnetic-superconducting hybrid systems are key to unlocking topological superconductivity, a state that could host Majorana modes with potential applications in fault-tolerant quantum computing.

Stellarators are fusion machines which contain hot, ionized matter (plasma) within a magnetic field of remarkable strength and sophisticated geometry. Significant progress including the highest plasma ...

Experiments show Josephson junction-like behavior can arise with only one superconductor, challenging the standard two-superconductor model. (Nanowerk News) Separate two superconductors with a thin ...

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 ...
