Scientists from Florida State University just created the world's strongest magnetic field using a toilet paper roll-sized magnet.

A Tiny Magnet Just Created the World’s Strongest Magnetic Field

A milestone that "could potentially do for magnets what silicon has done for electronics."

The new record is 33 percent stronger than the previous record-holder, and 3000 times stronger than the magnets on your refrigerator.

New superconducting magnet smashes world record

Hard Science

The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory has set a new record for the most powerful superconducting magnet, 33 percent stronger than the previous record.

New Superconducting Magnet Smashes World Record

"This is a transformational step in magnet technology, a true revolution in the making."

Your fridge would stick to this, not the other way around.

Researchers at the National MagLab have successfully tested a resistive magnet reaching 41.4 teslas of magnetic field strength.

World’s Most Powerful Resistive Magnet Will Assist Research in Many Fields

The $3.5M instrument will be used for research into superconductors, graphene, and quantum materials, among other projects.

Liquid, solid, and gas aren’t the only options anymore.

While researching superconductive materials, scientists from the Los Alamos National Laboratory found evidence of a new state of matter.

Researchers May Have Just Discovered an Entirely New State of Matter

They needed to use a massive magnetic field to find it.

One little fireball could help us heal the hurt created by a much bigger one.

By placing a regular dipole bar magnet near the surface of the cathode, the researchers were able to generate an intense "glowing, fireball like structure" inside the plasma chamber.

Physicists Make a Glowing Fireball From a Magnet and a Plasma Chamber

Here's how they did it. 

Scientists have manipulated the magnetic and crystalline properties of chromium triiodide to create the world's first 2D magnet.

Physicists Have Finally Created the World’s First 2D Magnet

This could have huge implications for finally bringing quantum computing to life.

Superconductors are able to retain magnetic fields as they drop electrical resistance when cooled below a critical temperature. The resulting hovering effect could have hundreds of uses.
