Ciro Santilli 35 Updated 2025-03-28 +Created 1970-01-01TODO!!! Even this is hard to find! A clean and minimal one! Why! All we can find are shittly levitating YBCO samples in liquid nitrogen! Maybe because liquid helium is expensive?
First 10T Tape Coil by Mark Benz
. Source. Dr. Mark Benz describes the first commercially sold superconducting magnet made by him and colleagues in 1965. The 10 Tesla magnet was made at GE Schenectady and they sold magnets to research facilities world wide before the team formed Intermagnetics General. IGC and Carl Rosner went on to pioneer MRI technology.Online and free. Pay only for exams, i.e. exam as a service. Almost perfect according to Ciro Santilli's idea.
TODO is teaching material open or not?

Ciro Santilli 35 Updated 2025-03-28 +Created 1970-01-01As of 2023 the most important ones economicaly were:The main application is magnetic resonance imaging. Both of these are have to be Liquid helium, i.e. they are not "high-temperature superconductor" which is a pain. One big strength they have is that they are metallic, and therefore can made into wires, which is crucial to be able to make electromagnetic coils out of them.
- Nb-Ti: the most widely used one. Used e.g. to create the magnetic fields of the Large Hadron Collider Up to 15 T.
- Nb-Sn: more expensive than Nb-Ti, but can reach up to 30 T.
Universities are obsessed by their images by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated 2025-03-28 +Created 1970-01-01
Ciro Santilli 35 Updated 2025-03-28 +Created 1970-01-01The image of an university is basically their only real asset, which they extract money out of via undergraduate students in some countries like the USA, and by getting funding.
For this reason, universities will sacrifice basically any principle in order to give themselves a good image.
Although for profit companies also do this, it is simply on another level for universities.
