World-record set at Magnetic Field Laboratory for non-destructive magnetic pulse

World record set at National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Los Alamos

In 2011, researchers at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory set a new world record for the strongest nondestructive magnet field: 97.4 tesla. The feat positioned them to in March 2012 deliver a magnet capable of achieving the elusive 100-tesla goal, profoundly affecting a range of scientific investigations.
