Scientists have clarified that toroidal magnets can also look for axions, one of the particle candidates for the mysterious dark matter. IBS scientists clarify that toroidal magnets can also look for ...

Imagine two toroidal permanent magnets arranged such that one is floating above the other for year after year. Where is the energy that powers this effect coming from? A couple of months ago, I penned ...

Scientists at IBS CAPP are prototyping haloscopes -- machines that hunt for dark matter. Haloscope have very strong magnets. Helix-shaped magnets (solenoid magnets, on the left) are commonly used in ...

As noted in the paper by [P. Helander] et al., the use of permanent magnets can substantially simplify the magnetic-field coils of a stellarator, which are then primarily used for the toroidal ...

The largest superconducting magnet ever built has successfully been powered up to its operating conditions at the first attempt. Called the "Barrel Toroid" because of its shape, this magnet is a vital ...

In a landmark achievement for fusion energy, ITER has completed all components for the world's largest, most powerful pulsed superconducting electromagnet system. ITER is an international ...

The first of 18 toroidal field coils has been made in Europe. Gigantic superconducting magnets, they will generate the magnetic cage to contain the Iter fusion reactor's plasma. The first of 18 ...

ATLAS is a particle physics experiment which has been designed to analyze data gathered from CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) scheduled to start its activity in November 2007. One of the components ...
