Cryogenics developer Bluefors of Finland is expanding globally as demands for its sophisticated magnets and other ultra-low temperature products find new placements in quantum computing, fusion research and other cutting-edge scientific endeavors. Leveraging its partnership […]
After twenty years of research, development, testing and production, the United States is now shipping state-of-the-art superconducting accelerator magnets to CERN for the high-luminosity upgrade to the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland. At the heart of these powerful magnets is a new superconducting material used for the first time in a particle accelerator. Earlier, prototypes performed successfully but exhibited shortcomings, however, the dedicated teams of scientists and engineers overcame them with some design and production adjustments.
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 […]
Liquid helium and nitrogen can be expensive ingredients for cooling the superconducting magnet in many nuclear magnetic resonance systems. The volatile elements are prone to evaporating away and requiring replenishment to maintain optimal performance of the instrument. Sometimes the instruments have to be shut down while fresh cryogen supplies are sought. But reclaiming them can make a difference. […]
Bilfinger Noell will supply customized superconducting wigglers to two leading synchroton facilities, Diamond Light Source in the UK and the Australian Synchrotron, strengthening its position as a major supplier of superconducting insertion devices such as superconductor undulators and superconductor wigglers with its unique and patented design. The insertion devices are the result of a collaboration with Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) which will also carry out the cold test of the units. […]
ATAP researchers have proposed a novel magnet design that promises more powerful, less expensive superconducting magnets for high-energy particle accelerators and other applications. […]
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.
