China completes full-performance tests of world’s largest superconducting magnet
SMRTR summary
China successfully tested the world's largest superconducting magnet system, a key step toward building commercial nuclear fusion reactors. The toroidal-field magnet outperforms ITER's equivalent with three times the energy storage capacity, while the central solenoid exceeded its rated current by nearly 30%, using entirely domestically produced materials.
