World's strongest magnet is 500,000 times stronger than Earth's magnetic field

World's strongest magnet is 500,000 times stronger than Earth's magnetic field

The world's strongest magnet has been created and sits in the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Florida State University. According to researchers, it has the potential to revolutionize scientific research. The custom built split magnet took $2.5 million to complete, and operates at 25 Tesla - which is 500,000 times stronger than our planet's magnetic field. If are ever caught in one of these devices, let's just say you probably won't live to tell the tale.
The previous world's strongest magnet was only 17.5 Tesla and was set in France in 1991.
