According to the “China Times” report on March 12, the R&D team of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) found a new magnetic energy superconducting material. They believe that this will be the future of nuclear fusion. The key to the reactor, and believe that within the next 15 years is expected to achieve nuclear fusion power generation.
According to the British "Guardian" report, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Commonwealth Fusion Systems (private company) have found a new superconducting magnetic field formula: an oxidized compound coated with antimony, bismuth, and copper. The material can appear superconducting at about minus 223 degrees Celsius, which is considered a 'high-temperature superconductor' because most superconductors must be kept close to absolute zero temperature (-273 degrees) to function.
This discovery allows for the creation of smaller, higher power and more efficient magnets, which is very helpful for effective nuclear fusion.
This technology will be tested in a simulation experiment called 'Sparc'. Its scale is much smaller than that of the International Thermonuclear Fusion Experimental Furnace (ITER). It is only about 1/65 of ITER, but MIT scientists I believe that this technology will be more successful than ITER. They hope to create 100 megawatts of energy.
Professor Maria Zube of MIT said: 'I believe we have achieved a reliable and feasible development direction and will realize the practical application of nuclear fusion. By then, the world's energy system will be completely changed.'
According to reports, nuclear fusion is the principle of solar luminescence and fever, and it is also the ultimate holy grail of energy science. However, it is difficult to achieve nuclear fusion control because it requires extremely high temperatures and great pressure.
But in the earth environment, it is even more difficult, because we do not have as much gravity as the sun, so we must increase the temperature to more than 100 million degrees, but in this way, there is no container that can hold the power of such high temperatures. So scientists think of the magnetic field. 3. The magnetic plasma is wrapped around the plasma to contain the nuclear fusion reaction.
Although this idea is good, plasma plasma will always break through where the magnetic field is weak, so it has been unsuccessful from theory to practice. Since the study of nuclear fusion began in the 1950s, scientists have been likened to praise the father: Visible The goal has been inaccessible.
