WUHAN, (PNA/Xinhua) — China’s pulsed high magnetic field experimental facilities have reached advanced levels and made world-class achievements, according to foreign experts.
A team of more than 30 experts from six countries, including the United States and Germany, gave the appraisal after inspecting and watching displays at the National High Magnetic Field Center in Wuhan, capital of central China’s Hubei Province.
High magnetic fields are one of the most important extreme conditions for modern scientific experiments, according to Li Liang, director of the center at Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
Over the past century, scientific research under strong magnetic fields has been active globally and made great original achievements in physics, chemistry, and in promoting the development of relevant high-tech industries, said Li.
The center, which began construction in 2008, will open to outside users after completion, he added.
In August, the center achieved a magnetic field intensity of 90.6 tesla, breaking the country’s previous record. The breakthrough made China the third country after the U.S. and Germany to realize a magnetic field intensity of more than 90 tesla.
