K-STAR superconducting magnet system

The K-STAR superconducting magnet system is a sophisticated device designed to generate strong magnetic fields for plasma confinement in nuclear fusion research. It uses superconducting coils—materials cooled to extremely low temperatures—to produce powerful, stable magnetic fields with minimal energy loss. These magnetic fields shape and control hot plasma, enabling scientists to study fusion reactions similar to those in the sun. K-STAR's system improves efficiency and stability in maintaining plasma conditions, contributing to advancements toward clean, limitless energy via nuclear fusion.
