Focusing intense beams of light for scientific research can require powerful, highly-engineered containment magnets and one of the biggest such projects is underway at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California. The magnets are being […]
The prospect of carbon-free energy from fusion has accelerated the development of tokamaks in recent years, driving the demand for high-temperature superconductor (HTS) tape, the technology at the heart of the extremely strong electromagnets used to confine plasma in magnetic-confinement fusion reactors. Now, manufacturers of HTS tape, notably Faraday Factory and Fujikara, both located in Japan, are ramping up their production capabilities and deliveries as the global demand for HTS tape is expected to grow tenfold in the next five years. Lasers from Coherent Corp. are playing a key role. […]
MRIs have completely changed how we view and understand our bodies. It has never been easier to visualize organs with such high details. We can safely locate and identify tumors in the kidneys, brain, stomach, […]
Living things are asymmetrical, even at the molecular level: Although many essential biomolecules exist in distinct mirror-image forms, cells tend to use just one of those forms exclusively. An article in Quanta Magazine sheds light on the concept of chirality and research into its origins involving primordial magnetism. A few excerpts of the fascinating article here: […]
Beckman Life Sciences, a leader in magnetic separations technology for laboratories, has completed the first phase of its new research and development hub in Colorado with the opening of a $10 million facility in Loveland and now is working on a second phase set for opening next year. The first complex, opened in January, is 56,000 sq ft for office, technology development and customer engagement centers. The second phase will add 37,000 sq ft of manufacturing operation attached to the office site. […]
Two programs involving MagLab, the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory headquartered at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida, illustrate one of its unique capabilities — as a center of cutting-edge research for advancements in medicine and biotechnology. One program involves renewed funding from the National Institutes of Health for several efforts in nuclear magnetic resonance; the other an agreement for collaboration between MagCorp, an innovative new commercial partner with the lab, and medical equipment maker Philips seeking new breakthroughs in reduced-helium magnetic resonance imaging. […]
With US FDA clearance in hand and a new production facility in Hong Kong, Time Medical is charging ahead to get NEONA, its breakthrough neonatal magnetic resonance imaging system, on the market. A world-first superconducting MRI system dedicated for baby diagnosis, NEONA can significantly improve the precision and image quality of fragile newborns, infants and children. […]
