MIT Researchers Build Powerful Superconducting Magnet That Can Lead to Clean Fusion Energy
A group of physicists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) recently achieved a feat that could pave the way for practical carbon-free power. The achievement was three years in the making . It is a result of intensive research and design work, project leaders say. For the first time, researchers built a large high-temperature superconducting electromagnet that can reach a field strength of 20 tesla — the most powerful magnetic field ever created. This has removed a key hurdle in the generation of clean fusion…
