Chinese scientists on Sunday used an independently developed resistive magnet to produce a stable magnetic field of 42 tesla, equivalent to more than 800,000 times the Earth’s magnetic field, breaking a world record set by the United States in 2017.
The landmark achievement made by the High Magnetic Field Laboratory of Hefei Institutes of Physical Science under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CHMFL) is expected to boost scientific discoveries and applications in a wide range of technological fields.
The strong stable magnetic field is an extreme experimental condition, serving as a powerful tool for scientific research. In the experimental environment, the properties of matter can be manipulated, which is conducive to scientists discovering new phenomena and exploring new laws of matter, experts explained.
Strong magnetic fields can also stimulate applications such as electromagnetic metallurgy and chemical reaction synthesis, especially the widespread use of nuclear magnetic resonance technology in medical science.
