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 ...

After two decades of design, production, fabrication and assembly on three continents, the historic, multinational ITER fusion energy project today celebrates the completion and delivery of its ...

As noted in the paper by [P. Helander] et al., the use of permanent magnets can substantially simplify the magnetic-field coils of a stellarator, which are then primarily used for the toroidal ...

Imagine two toroidal permanent magnets arranged such that one is floating above the other for year after year. Where is the energy that powers this effect coming from? A couple of months ago, I penned ...

Japan's Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation announced today it has completed the manufacture of the first of four toroidal field coils it is supplying to the International Thermonuclear ...

A tokamak, however, is the real deal – a scientific device that produces energy from fusion. And a large-scale version is currently being built in southern France as part of the ITER initiative. A ...

Magnet technology has advanced, year-over-year, pulled by the desire of scientists for ever-higher magnetic fields. But progress has been paced by new developments in properties of materials needed to ...
