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

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.

Big Magnets & Big Money Power High-Stakes Race to Commercialize Fusion Energy 

Big magnets and big money are at the core of a high stakes race to commercialize fusion energy, aiming ultimately to transform the world’s energy supply with the immense power of zero-carbon fusion. This article highlights the progress of two pioneering companies located only a two-hour drive apart — General Fusion in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada and Helion in Everett, Washington in the U.S. The technologies of both companies rely on powerful electromagnets, eschewing the use of more expensive and complex superconducting magnets typically used in tokamaks.
