Did you know there are magnets over 2,000 times stronger than the ones currently on your refrigerator? It's certainly a crazy concept, but the invention of SuperConductor (LTS) magnet technology in combination with advancements in high-temperature superconducting materials has exponentially increased the power of magnets today.  After intense engineering efforts over the last decade, a new super-magnet is expected to be ready by December 2019 that will help scientists break new ground in studies of nuclear magnetic resonance, electron magnetic resonance, molecular solids and quantum oscillation studies of complex metals. Using the Right SuperConductor A superconducting magnet of over 25 T usually has an outer magnet – known as an outsert – that is made of LTS materials and contains an insert made of UTS materials. The outsert section has three coils of niobium-tin (Nb3Sn) and two coils of niobium-titanium (NbTi) that uses Bruker-Oxford Superconducting Technology. LTS-only magnets can’t produce a field above 21 T, which is why the dual-component design so necessary. Managing Energy Both the insert and outsert of the super-magnet must be kept in a liquid helium at 4.2K. Any additional energy would be enough to raise the temperature above the point where the coils become resistive, and the magnet undergoes a quench.
