WHAM breaks magnetic field record in breakthrough nuclear fusion experiment
The WHAM experiment successfully revived the once-dormant magnetic mirror concept in fusion research.
Researchers involved in the Wisconsin HTS Asymmetric Mirror (WHAM) experiment have taken a significant step towards making clean, carbon-free fusion power a reality.
The WHAM team, led by University of Wisconsin-Madison physics professor Cary Forest, generated plasma using the strongest steady magnetic field ever applied in such a device.
