China launched construction of the world’s most powerful pulsed magnet facility in the city of Wuhan on Tuesday.
The upgraded pulsed high magnetic field facility at Huazhong University of Science and Technology will produce a short – but extremely strong – magnetic field at 110 Tesla, more than two million times stronger than that of the Earth.
The current record of 100 Tesla for pulsed magnetic field is held by a facility at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in the US state of New Mexico.
The strongest pulsed magnetic field that China can generate at present is 70 Tesla. READ MORE...
