The previous world record of 45 Tesla was achieved in 1999 by a hybrid magnet at the US National High Magnetic Field Laboratory.
THE Chinese Academy of Sciencesn announced that one hybrid magnet at the Stationary High Magnetic Field Facility (SHMFF) in Hefei City achieved new world record constant magnetic field strength, producing a field of 45.22 Tesla on August 12.
China thus broke the previous world record of 45 Tesla achieved in 1999 by a hybrid magnet at the US National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. The Chinese magnet was built in 2016 and initially produced a field strength of 40 Tesla, the second in the world to “catch” this limit.
“To then achieve even higher magnetic fields, we innovated the structure of the magnet and developed new materials,” said the lead researcher, Professor Guang Guangli, director of the High Magnetic Field Laboratory of the Institute of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Hefei.
The achievement of an intensity field of 45.22 Tesla, according to the announcement of the Chinese scientists, “it represents an important milestone in the development of magnetic technology in China and around the world.” They also pointed out that the SHMFF facility now provides research users worldwide with the strongest stable magnetic field, already offering more than 170 institutes and universities in China and other countries the experimental conditions for cutting-edge research in various research fields.
