"MAGNET: World's strongest magnetic field is demonstrated"
Researchers at Florida State University's National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee achieved the holy grail of magnetism recently when their high-temperature superconductor attained the coveted 25-Tesla field strength record.
The bore of a high-temperature superconductor (HTS) insert coil is the spot where researchers place their experiments, and thus the bigger the better. The nominal size is 33 mm, which makes the 25-Tesla HTS insert coil larger than most, but bores as large as 105 mm are under development at the lab for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) applications.
