If there’s something more tedious than winding coils, we’re not sure what it is — possibly rolling and wrapping coins; that’s really a bother. But luckily, just like there are mechanical ways to count ...
Little Big Coil: the record-breaking magnet is the size of a toilet roll core. (Courtesy: Stephen Bilenky/National MagLab) The highest continuous magnetic field ever created in the lab has been ...
Resistive magnets are built in-house at the magnet lab using so-called Florida Bitter technology pioneered by researchers there. Circular plates of copper sheet metal are stamped with cooling holes; ...

New super magnet could unlock practical fusion power
Why magnets sit at the heart of fusion’s next leap Magnetic confinement is the central engineering challenge for fusion power because the fuel must be heated to temperatures hotter than the core of ...
A coil of wire, or solenoid, consists of a wire coiled up into a spiral shape. When an electric current flows, the shape of the magnetic field is very similar to the field of a bar magnet. The field ...
