As many countries are fiercely competing to build the 'world's fastest commercial nuclear fusion power plant', the 'high-temperature superconducting magnet' of Seoul National University Professor Seung-Yong Han's research team is making headlines for participating in the UK's national nuclear fusion project. A very strong magnetic field is needed to confine 100 million℃ plasma, and the superconducting magnet is what is needed to form that magnetic field! Superconducting magnet technology has been kept under wraps for 100 years. It is known as a future technology that will be used in various fields such as MRI, cancer treatment, nuclear fusion, and new and renewable energy... Dr. Seung-Yong Han is leading the way in unraveling the secrets of superconductivity and commercializing it! It is an innovative technology that will change the future, but there was a problem that was an obstacle to commercialization. It is the quench phenomenon where the temperature rises and burns out... Dr. Han's research team solved this safety issue and changed the paradigm of ultra-high magnetic field generation technology. Dr. Han's research started with a single idea that overturned common sense.
