Partner News: Superconducting record set by VESC
SCARLET partner VESC recently set a new record for applied superconductivity by demonstrating a current of 190000 amperes through a superconducting busbar, thus matching the operating current of an aluminium smelter. The demonstrator consists of two current leads with a compact superconducting busbar of less than 30 cm in diameter in between them. The tests […]
