China Leads with Breakthroughs and Future Challenges on High-Field Magnets

Chinese scientists have made a major breakthrough in the field of strong magnetic field with the world's strongest water-cooled magnet, which can generate a steady-state magnetic field of 42.02 Tesla, far exceeding the Earth's magnetic field by 800,000 times.

Strong magnetic field magnets are powerful tools for scientific research, revealing the hidden properties of advanced materials, discovering new physical phenomena, and improving the sensitivity of experiments.

However, water-cooled magnets consume huge amounts of energy and have high operating costs. For this reason, countries are developing hybrid and superconducting magnets to generate strong magnetic fields with low power.

China is developing 55 Tesla hybrid magnets, but these new magnets are expensive to build and the technology is still under development.

Competition in the field of strong magnetic fields is increasing, and scientists from various countries are constantly exploring new technologies to advance scientific research.
