Superconductivity is well understood in so-called "conventional" superconductors. More recent, however, are unconventional superconductors, and it is as yet unclear how they work. "Uranium ditelluride ...

The discovery of superconductivity more than a century ago has significantly changed our world. The story began in 1911 when the Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes observed that the electrical ...

China has quietly crossed a threshold in magnet technology that most people will never see but many will eventually feel. By pushing an all-superconducting device to 35.6 tesla, roughly 700,000 times ...

A comprehensive study of high-temperature superconducting magnets confirms they meet requirements for an economic, compact fusion power plant. In the predawn hours of Sept. 5, 2021, engineers achieved ...

The two key superconducting magnets for the fusion reactors in the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), known as the "artificial sun," have successfully completed development ...
