CSA Corporate Sustaining Member Oxford Instruments announced that it has achieved 22.07 Tesla in a fully superconducting magnet operating at 4.2K.
According to Oxford, “the 22 T magnet was built by integrating two HTS coils into a 20 T, 78 mm wide bore magnet. The latter was a first achievement in itself as it is the fully superconducting magnet at 4.2K using only LTS materials with such a wide bore. A major benefit of this magnet is that it can accommodate HTS insert coils into the drive to achieve a fully superconducting 25 to 30 T magnet system. Such high fields are needed by the research community in physical and life sciences to explore new areas in nanotechnology and bioscience. At present such magnetic fields can only be achieved using resistive magnets which have a very high power consumption and require specialized infrastructure to allow their operation.”
