A really detailed superconducting magnet paper; all about the physical build, of a huge one for fusion use; 270km of REBCO tape, and weighing 10 Tonnes; some bits are fascinating, like the flood filling of the tape with solder.

Design, Fabrication, and Assembly of the SPARC Toroidal Field Model Coil
The SPARC Toroidal Field Model Coil (TFMC) is the first large-scale (∼3 m), high-field (∼20 T) superconducting fusion magnet based on Rare Earth Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide (REBCO). Weighing 10,058 kg and utilizing 270 km of REBCO, the TFMC is a non-insulated, stack-in-plate style superconducting magnet. It has three main components: (1) the winding pack; (2) the structural case; and (3) the case extensions, or plena. The winding pack is composed of sixteen single pancakes with two terminat…

Inside the neo-Nazi hate network grooming children for a race war
Two rabbis sat down for dinner at Chabad Jewish Center in Pensacola, Fla.The air on this July evening was warm and tranquil. A sense of peace filled the kitchen where the men shared their meal. Suddenly, something crashed through the window, sending glass flying. The rabbis rushed over to investigat...

Kinda crushing week, thought I’d spud out to #Coachella on YouTube. Just me or is Lil Uzi Vert falling flat as a pancake? A few interesting acts on later… https://www.coachella.com/schedule

Des scientifiques passionnés de #Dune n’avaient pas attendu les films pour se poser la grande question: est-ce qu’une planète comme #Arrakis serait possible? Et les vers des sables, eux? Le Détecteur de rumeurs s’est penché sur leurs réponses.

Dune est-elle scientifiquement plausible? Oui et non

Went to Kenmore Camera this morning to handle some of the compact APS-C cameras.
I handled a used Fuji X-E2 which is similar in size to the x100VI and enjoyed the feeling. I may need the thumb grip accessory.
The Nikon Z30 with the pancake zoom was tempting, but the AF system would take some getting used to.
The Sony a6700 just didn’t spark joy. It seemed very capable, like a technical tool.
I think I’m set on the X100VI.
