Scientists have achieved an electrical current of 100,000 amperes, which is by far the highest in the world, by using the new idea of assembling the state-of-the-art yttrium-based high-temperature ...

Present-day volume prices of HTSs (high temperature superconducting) wire and tape range from $150 to $200/kA-m (kiloAmps per meter). Many analyses of the commercial viability of superconducting ...

The National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS), of the National Institutes of Natural Sciences (NINS) in Japan, has achieved an electrical current of 100,000 amperes, which is by far the highest in ...

For more than a century, engineers have chased new ways to turn the planet’s natural motions into usable power, from tides to ...

To control a plasma at a temperature of 150 million Kelvin, the ITER fusion reactor will need a magnet system like no other, as Daniel Clery explains The ITER construction site Generating power with ...

Physicists, engineers and technicians at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Particle Accelerator Laboratory, led by Henryk Piekarz, just demonstrated the world’s fastest magnetic ramping ...

Fleming’s Left Hand Rule can be used to determine the direction of the force, current or magnetic field. This force forms the basis of the electric motor. A current carrying conductor creates its own ...
