Chinese scientists have successfully created an all-superconducting magnet capable of generating 35.6 teslas, over 700,000 times stronger than Earth’s magnetic field, setting a global record. The magnet, housed in Beijing’s Huairou Science City, is designed for cutting-edge research in materials science, nuclear fusion, and life sciences.
The device uses a high-temperature superconducting core with a 35-millimeter bore and can maintain ultra-strong magnetic fields for over 200 hours. Its stable performance under extreme conditions like ultra-low temperatures and high pressures makes it ideal for advanced experiments, including nuclear magnetic resonance and quantum material studies.
Developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the magnet enhances China’s leadership in strong-field research and offers international scientists a platform for frontier exploration. Researchers aim to further increase field strength and expand applications in medical technology, energy systems, and advanced scientific instruments.
