An all-superconducting magnet developed by Chinese scientists has recently achieved a world-record steady magnetic field strength of 35.1 tesla, a breakthrough which provides key technological support for multiple industrial applications, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), aerospace electromagnetic propulsion, superconducting magnetic levitation (maglev) and high-efficiency power transmission, China Central Television (CCTV) reported on Sunday.

The superconducting magnet developed under the leadership of the Institute of Plasma Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with several other domestic research institutions and universities, adopts a combined design of high-temperature plus low-temperature superconducting magnets, which are precisely nested to create a stable composite structure.

Researchers have enhanced the magnet’s mechanical stability and electromagnetic performance under extreme conditions.

In tests, the magnet reached 35.1 tesla and ran stably for 30 minutes, verifying the technology’s reliability. It is expected to provide a strong platform for conducting experiments under ultra-high magnetic fields.

This achievement marks a breakthrough in key technologies facing the international community in the field of ultra–high-field, all-superconducting steady-state magnets, achieving 100 percent independently developed and controlled over critical materials, processes and fabrication.

This achievement is expected to drive technological upgrades in China’s high-temperature superconducting materials industry, and provides key technological support for industrial applications across multiple fields, including magnetic resonance imaging, aerospace electromagnetic propulsion, superconducting induction heating, superconducting magnetic levitation (maglev), and high-efficiency power transmission.

Chinese scientists set world record with magnetic field 700,000 times Earth's​

HEFEI, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- Chinese scientists announced on Sunday that they have successfully generated a steady magnetic field of 351,000 gauss with a fully superconducting magnet, setting a new world record.

The breakthrough will significantly advance the commercialization of advanced superconducting scientific instruments, such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers, according to the scientists.

It also provides crucial technical support for multiple cutting-edge fields, including fusion magnet systems, space electromagnetic propulsion, superconducting induction heating, magnetic levitation, and efficient power transmission.

The magnet was developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Plasma Physics (ASIPP), located in Hefei, east China's Anhui Province, in collaboration with the Hefei International Applied Superconductivity Center, the Institute of Energy of the Hefei Comprehensive National Science Center, and Tsinghua University.

Earth itself is a giant magnet, generating a geomagnetic field of about 0.5 gauss. Superconducting magnets, fabricated by winding superconducting materials, can generate extremely strong magnetic fields while enabling lossless transmission of large currents.

Liu Fang, researcher with ASIPP, explained that the magnet adopts high-temperature superconducting insert-coil technology, coaxially nested with low-temperature superconducting magnets.

The team effectively overcame challenges such as stress concentration, shielding current effects and multi-field coupling effects under low-temperature, high-field conditions. These innovations significantly improved the magnet's mechanical stability and electromagnetic performance in extreme environments.

During the experiment, the magnet was energized to 35.1 tesla, stably operated for 30 minutes, and was safely demagnetized, fully verifying the reliability of the technical approach. The achieved magnetic field strength, over 700,000 times that of Earth's geomagnetic field, also surpassed the previous world record of 323,500 gauss.

Such magnets are also key components of magnetic confinement fusion devices, forming a "magnetic cage" that safely confines high-temperature plasma for sustained burning. ASIPP has long been engaged in fusion research and has recently achieved complete localization of superconducting materials, devices and systems.

As the main unit of the Chinese mission of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), the institute has taken on many procurement packages, including superconductors, correction coils and magnet feeders. ■

"Whoever made this policy, he is traitor of this nation." "Are the policy makers blind? Didn't you see what happened in Canada?". Chinese netizens showed their anger to the newly launched policy that offers K-visa to Indians. This policy is supposed to attract more international STEM talents. But worry about Indians flooding in China arose among Chinse netizens.

Lu Kewen, a blogger, who has over 20 million followers in China's platforms wrote an article, saying "The one who turned China into another Europe is definitely a criminal." There are many bloggers, including Shenyin, who is an prestigious international affairs expert showed their concerns to this new policy.

Ban all Indians....

good for enviornment

 

[MH.Yang]

Don't be so nervous.

First, it's a visa similar to H-1B, Indians without technology can't get the visa

Second, China does not lack STEM talent, and China is not an English-speaking country, Indians who are not really high-tech talents have no ability to find jobs in China all.

Third, the management of Chinese companies is almost all Chinese, most of which are state-owned enterprises or family businesses, and it is almost impossible for Indians to get management.

Fourth, it is extremely difficult to obtain Chinese citizenship, and Indians who obtain K visas are also unlikely to obtain Chinese citizenship.

I think K is not prepared for Indians, for Chinese in Southeast Asia, especially Malaysians.

How long will it be before the Americans wake up and realize they are the bad guys?

good day sir
its a 'competent' statement

we find only the US as "odd man" among we all

whether the Islam or China or their Black-White comparison with rest of world, only the US/West have these problems with remaining world

 

[Ali_Baba]

The chinese will do a far far far fat better job of managing this programme and ensure it is not open to abuse than the americans will do.

The barrier to entry for this visa is very high i suspect.

 

[FarhanSiddiqui]

The Indians would be sleeping agents providing data to the CIA and other secret services. In Qatar, the Indians were arrested providing the intelligence to the Zionazis. In Canada and other European nations too many Indians have created huge Indian discrimination.

 

[ST1976]

hell no, this means China will probably start a new group, an Indialess one!

since our Non Aligned Movement efforts since Cold War, we find the BRICS without India would be incomplete.
with our NAM efforts during Cold War, we claim the India helped the Soviet Union more in that Cold War, than the SU helped India during the same period

we gave that world to China where they found a "power balance" by these Cold War allies.

Your headline corrected

 

[ST1976]

No, its got nothing to do with security. That's just in Baluchistan and some Tribal areas on Afghanistan' border sponsored by India because it doesn't want to see Pakistan progress and the CPEC route to go through Kashmir areas. In Punjab and Sindh, its not the case, especially in Punjab.

@nahtanbob

we see Kashmir region is well connected by roads on both side.
the hotels here are reasonable if you visit by vehicle, Pakistani nationals are usually seen here

im residing near Srinagar at present, its good here

Don't invite human intelligence of the West / Israel into your nation. 30 years from now, you'll regret it like how Americans and Arabs are regretting it but can't do anything about it.
