In a major leap for material science, China has successfully developed an all-superconducting magnet that reaches 35.6 tesla—a record-breaking intensity that is over 700,000 times stronger than Earth’s magnetic field.

• The Tech: Developed using high-temperature superconducting materials, the magnet was tested at the Synergetic Extreme Condition User Facility.
• Why it matters: This level of magnetic force is essential for exploring the “micro-world,” enabling researchers to observe physical phenomena previously hidden to science. It could lead to breakthroughs in cancer treatment, new semiconductor materials, and quantum computing.
• Comparison: For context, a standard medical MRI machine typically operates at 1.5 to 3 tesla. This new magnet is more than 12 times stronger, paving the way for the next generation of high-resolution imaging.
