1,400,000 Times Stronger Than Earth’s: New Record for Strongest Steady Magnetic Field

By Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences September 7, 2022 Earth’s electromagnetic field guards our world from cosmic radiation and charged particles from our Sun. China has actually set a brand-new world record for the greatest stable magnetic field.On August 12, the hybrid magnet of the Steady High Magnetic Field Facility (SHMFF) in Hefei, China, created the world’s greatest stable electromagnetic field by a working magnet measuring 45.22 teslas (T). In contrast, Earth’s electromagnetic field at 0 ° latitude and 0 ° longitude just has a strength of 0.000 032 teslas. It exceeded the 45- tesla previous world record set by a hybrid magnet in 1999 at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory of the United States. The brand-new world record of 45.22- tesla steady-state high electromagnetic field.

Regardless of dealing with numerous challenges, the group effectively built the hybrid magnet in 2016, which produced a main electromagnetic field of 40 teslas at the time, making it the 2nd 40- tesla level magnet worldwide. Seemingly, 40 teslas was not completion. The group has actually because continued its pursuit of more powerful electromagnetic fields. The group had a group image to commemorate the brand-new record.

The success of the45 22- tesla magnet represents a crucial turning point in the advancement of magnetic innovation in China and the world. This magnet is among the 10 magnets established and run by CHMFL. The hybrid magnet at the Steady High Magnetic Field Facility (SHMFF) in Hefei, China.

SHMFF, a user center, which presently supplies researchers worldwide with the greatest steady-state electromagnetic field, has actually run for more than 500,000 device hours because its operation, supplying over 170 institutes or universities in your home and abroad with speculative conditions for advanced research study of multi-disciplines.
