Current Magnet Projects

For the building of a proposed 40-tesla superconducting magnet, MagLab scientists and engineers are studying four different technologies. They are (clockwise from upper left): Bi-2212, non-insulated REBCO, insulated REBCO and Bi-2223.

40-Tesla Superconducting Magnet

A 40-T superconducting magnet would enable scientists to run their experiments longer at peak field in a more stable, homogenous magnetic field.

20 Tesla MRI Magnet: Ekosi Tesla

In 2013, an international team including the MagLab initiated Ekosi Tesla: the pursuit of 20 tesla human MRI (ekosi is Greek for 20).
