This Fusion Reactor Is Held Together With Tape

Cars That Think

To make YBCO tape, some manufacturers first use a laser to vaporize bulk YBCO into a plume. We showed that we could basically hand-build 16 winding coils and assemble them into one high-performing magnet,” says Sorbom. We theorized that we could get extremely high performance through the brute force of the magnetic field.”
