On Sunday, Chinese scientists revealed that they have created a stable magnetic field measuring 351,000 gauss through a completely superconducting magnet, establishing a new global record.
A significant advancement, made at the Institute of Plasma Physics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (ASIPP) in Hefei, in collaboration with multiple national research institutions and Tsinghua University, exceeds the previous record of 323,500 gauss and signifies a strength over 700,000 times stronger than Earth’s magnetic field (approximately 0.5 gauss).
As per the scientists, this technological advancement may hold significant consequences for high-level industries including nuclear fusion, electromagnetic propulsion systems used in space exploration, magnetic levitation, efficient power transmission, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers.
The gadget utilizes a new hybrid system that integrates high-temperature and low-temperature superconducting coils.
Throughout the experiment, the magnet achieved 351,000 gauss, functioned reliably for thirty minutes, and was properly demagnetized, demonstrating the effectiveness of the method.
ASIPP, a key player in China’s fusion research initiative and involved in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project, also mentioned that it has attained full self-reliance in superconducting materials and associated systems.
