Developments in magnets and magnetic materials are prominent in $17 million of awards by the U.S. Department of Energy to boost domestic production and resources of critical materials. The new funding from the DOE’s Advanced […]
The DIII-D National Fusion Facility in San Diego, home of the largest magnetic fusion research machine in the U.S., recently surpassed its 200,000th experimental cycle since it began operations, marking an important milestone in the development of clean fusion energy. Referred to as “shots,” each of these tests and discharges have advanced the U.S. fusion research program’s collective understanding of how to create, shape, and confine plasmas to support the development of fusion as a source of base-load energy in the future.

Bruker BioSpin Group, headquartered in Zurich, has acquired the electron paramagnetic resonance business of Bridge12, a Massachusetts-based company known for enabling cutting-edge research using EPR technology. The deal adds to Bruker’s suite of EPR spectroscopy offerings. Meanwhile, Bridge12 plans to focus on developing high power gyrotrons for commercial fusion reactors, and to continue its developments in nuclear magnetic resonance. […]
Using polyphase electromagnetic coupling coils with rotating magnetic fields to boost the power, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have demonstrated breakthrough performance for wireless charging of electric vehicles. A recent series of prototype demonstrations have established the effectiveness of the technology, which ORNL is seeking to license to manufacturers. More research is focused on developing even higher power levels suitable for larger vehicles, getting the system to mass production-level readiness and exploring more applications. […]
Not exactly murder is involved but there is plenty of sleuthing and baffling dead-ends in “The Magnet Detectives”, a true tale of one, then two, dead magnets amidst some intricate physics at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois. Run by the U.S. Department of Energy, Fermilab is America’s particle physics and accelerator laboratory, tasked with bringing the world together to solve the mysteries of matter, energy, space and time. […]
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.
