Hololens as a Teaching Aid for Concepts in Electricity and Magnetism
HoloLens, a head mounted augmented reality headset promises educational value. We plan to use HoloLens to teach college students learning introductory electricity and magnetism about polarized
light, a topic not ordinarily covered in that class....

Sean Kinzler with Michael MartensDesign of a Persistent Switch for 0.35T Magnesium DiBoride Superconducting MagnetsRecent progress in magnet design and persistent joints using for the magnesium diboride, MgB2, superconductor has made clear the increasingly important role of the persistent switch in magnet quench protection. The persistent switch is used...

Persistent Switch Design for MgB2 Superconducting Magnet
High quality MRI imaging requires that the main magnetic field remain temporally stable to within 0.1 ppm per hour, which is achieved by operating the main superconducting magnet in persistent current mode. After a power supply...
