If you drop strong magnets onto a plate of copper, something remarkable happens: the magnets slow down before hitting the surface and appear to levitate slightly, like the copper is another magnet, ...
Resistive magnets are built in-house at the magnet lab using so-called Florida Bitter technology pioneered by researchers there. Circular plates of copper sheet metal are stamped with cooling holes; ...
A widely viewed breakdown of recent fusion magnet progress walks through the engineering behind high-field coils, the role of cryogenics and the way these systems interact with plasma control, giving ...
