The technology could have promising applications for nuclear fusion research and other commercial uses, the researchers said.

Development could have implications for power transmission, nuclear fusion and superconducting magnetic levitation.

Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time ...

Placing a magnet on your refrigerator might hold up your calendar, but researchers have now found that placing one outside a plasma chamber causes a localized, fireball-like structure. This work may ...

To harness the forces that power the Sun, researchers heat fuel to such a high temperature that atoms melt into electrons and nuclei to form a hot, gaseous soup called plasma. The plasma can rip ...

On Sunday, they announced the successful generation of a steady magnetic field of 351,000 gauss using a fully superconducting ...

WASHINGTON, D.C., July 25, 2017 -- Placing a magnet on your refrigerator might hold up your calendar, but researchers from India's Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics found that placing one outside a ...
