(260127) -- BEIJING, Jan. 27, 2026 (Xinhua) -- Researchers Li Gang, Liu Jianghua, and Zhou Benzhe (R-L) discuss the operational status of the all-superconducting magnet at the ultra-low temperature high magnetic field quantum oscillation experimental station of the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, capital of China, on Jan. 26, 2026. China has achieved a 35.6 tesla all-superconducting magnet in an experiment facility, setting a new record, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) said on Tuesday.
The all-superconducting magnet, with a central magnetic field of 35.6 tesla and a usable aperture of 35 millimeters was conducted with the Synergetic Extreme Condition User Facility. It is a user magnet designed to support domestic and international research teams in conducting cutting-edge studies.
The record-breaking magnetic field is about 12 to 24 times that of a medical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, the strongest magnetic field people can access in daily life, and over 700,000 times that of Earth's magnetic field.
As one of the core facilities in modern technology, they hold significant application value in major national sci-tech infrastructures, advanced scientific instruments, high-end medical equipment, energy and transportation. (Xinhua/Jin Liwang)
