HTS-110 Provides High-Temp Superconducting Magnets to Research Facilities in Europe 

May 18, 2026 Editorial Staff 0

HTS-110, a specialist manufacturer of high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets located in New Zealand, has been selected recently by two advanced research facilities in Europe to provide high-field magnets for neutron science. Most recent is a project for the emerging European Spallation Source (ESS) in Sweden to design and manufacture a 14 tesla high-field magnet for neutron spectroscopy. The contract follows HTS-110’s recent delivery of a world-first 12 tesla all-HTS magnet to the French Alternative Energies & Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) for neutron science at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) located in Grenoble.
