superconducting magnet

[¦sü·pər·kən′dəkt·iŋ ′mag·nət]
(cryogenics)
An electromagnet whose coils are made of a type II superconductor with a high transition temperature and extremely high critical field, such as niobium tin, Nb3Sn; it is capable of generating magnetic fields of 100,000 oersteds (8,000,000 amperes per meter) and more with no steady power dissipation.

This non-rotating gantry, which uses a superconducting magnet as a bending magnet, allows the system to be downsized.
We would also like to recognize the fine work done by TING Corporation, STI's distribution partner in India, in securing this first success in India." Prateek Dokania, Vice President TING Corporation, added, "This order for Conductus wire from the prestigious Institute for Plasma Research, India, is a big win for STI and TING Corporation, and opens up the Indian market to the best wire optimized for superconducting magnet applications."
One way is to use a superconducting magnet. Superconductors have electrons that conduct electricity with no resistance to flow.
28 February 2017 - UK-based engineered components, modules and services producer Avingtrans plc (AIM: AVG) has closed the acquisition of a majority stake in superconducting magnet and cryogenic systems company Space Cryomagnetics Ltd., trading as 'Scientific Magnetics' for total consideration of GBP 347k (USD 429,620), the company said.
The 3T to 7T preclinical MRI imaging system features cryogen-free superconducting magnet technology which eliminates the need for liquid helium, thus reducing both the capital and running costs and there is no requirement for building modification works.
Dr David Taylor, physicist and CEO of MR Solutions predicts that "within five years all new MRI scanners will be able to do away with the liquid helium jacket that keeps the superconducting magnet at four degrees above absolute zero - a chilly minus 269 degrees centigrade.
This superconducting cable is going to be used as a main component in the Non-Refrigerated 25T (Tesla) Superconducting Magnet that is under construction at Tohoku University based on the High Magnetic Field Collaboratory Plan, a Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology project.
Researchers used a specially designed superconducting magnet generating a field that repelled water in the flies' body.
The calculation of electromagnetic force between misaligned coils with rectangular cross section is of great importance for the design of motors, superconducting magnet, and hybrid magnet combined with superconducting coils and water-cooled coils [1-5].
