Realta Fusion and University of Wisconsin researchers, operating the Wisconsin HTS Axisymmetric Mirror (WHAM) experiment, formed and held a plasma with an applied magnetic field strength of 17 Tesla on the confined plasma achieving a series of firsts for fusion energy. This demonstration was the first use of High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) magnets in a magnetic mirror configuration.
