A 60-foot-tall superconducting magnet, made of more than 9,000 parts developed over a decade by eight suppliers from six US states, was built and shipped for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) fusion experiment in France. The magnet is crucial for generating and maintaining plasma current in the fusion reactor, which aims to sustain fusion reactions at scale to harness ene

Description
Description | A 60-foot-tall superconducting magnet, made of more than 9,000 parts developed over a decade by eight suppliers from six US states, was built and shipped for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) fusion experiment in France. The magnet is crucial for generating and maintaining plasma current in the fusion reactor, which aims to sustain fusion reactions at scale to harness energy like the sun. |
