At approximately 3:30 p.m. March 22, 2012, scientists at the Los Alamos National Laboratory campus of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory successfully produced the world’s first 100 Tesla non-destructive magnetic field.
The achievement was decades in the making, involving a diverse team of scientists and engineers.
The ability to create pulses of extremely high magnetic fields nondestructively provides researchers with an unprecedented tool for studying a range of scientific questions: from how materials behave under the influence of very high magnetic fields, to research into the quantum behavior of phase transitions in solids.
