Pushing the envelope with fusion magnets

David Fischer sits beside the experiment’s vacuum chamber (illuminated in blue), where the high temperature superconductor tapes will be mounted for proton irradiation and in situ transport current measurement. His laptop shows data obtained in such measurements — the basis for determining the critical current.

Undergraduates ramp up research during pandemic diaspora

For nuclear science and engineering undergraduate researchers Charlotte Wickert, Mriganka Mandal, and Natalie Montoya, exile from campus spurred deeper exploration of known territory, and rewarding forays into less familiar disciplines.

Validating the physics behind the new MIT-designed fusion experiment

Plasma Science and Fusion Center

This image shows a cutaway rendering of SPARC, a compact, high-field, DT burning tokamak, currently under design by a team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Commonwealth Fusion Systems. Its mission is to create and confine a plasma that produces net fusion energy. Credits:Image: CFS/MIT-PSFC — CAD Rendering by T. Henderson

New record for fusion

Plasma Science and Fusion Center

The interior of the fusion experiment Alcator C-Mod at MIT recently broke the plasma pressure record for a magnetic fusion device. The interior of the donut-shaped device confines plasma hotter than the interior of the sun, using high magnetic fields. Postdoc Ted Golfinopoulos, shown here, is performing maintenance between plasma campaigns. Credits:Photo: Bob Mumgaard/Plasma Science and Fusion Center

3Q: Fighting racism in the nuclear community

“I think that the first thing that people should do is realize that when a paper or an analysis says this field suffers from systemic racism, it's not a personal critique. We're talking about systems that have been in place for a long time,” says Katlyn Turner, a research scientist in MIT’s Media Lab.
