PPPL researchers find way to build high-temperature superconducting magnets for fusion devices

Green Car Congress

High current density achieved by a CORC cable based on a four-layer model coil recently tested at National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) motivated its consideration for low cost, reduced size fusion magnet application. While simplifying construction, the technique also lowers costs. Collage by Kiran Sudarsanan).
