Swoop from Hyperfine Enables Portable MRI Brain Scanning
Hyperfine’s innovative Swoop is the world’s first FDA-cleared portable magnetic resonance imaging system capable of providing neuroimaging at the point of care. For hospitals and patients, it expands patient access and reduces patient transport and associated risks while being more cost-effective than conventional high-field MRI systems.
R&D: Airbus Engineers Advance Cryogenic Superconductivity for Flight Powered by Hydrogen Fuel Cells
Carefully winding their cryogenically-cooled permanent magnet motor with superconducting tape instead of copper magnet wire, Airbus engineers in France have been meeting with success in their efforts to develop an electric propulsion system for aircraft that be powered by hydrogen fuel cells. The team powered-on their 500 kilowatt powertrain at the system’s core recently, marking a breakthrough in their quest to marry hydrogen-powered fuel cells and superconductivity for game-changing flight propulsion.
