Since the 19th century, researchers have struggled to create strong magnetic fields in laboratories for fundamental studies and diverse applications. Magnetic tomography<\/a>, used in hospitals, is about 1 tesla (104 G). By contrast, future magnetic fusion and maglev trains will require magnetic fields on the megatesla (10,000,000,000 G) and kilotesla (10,000,000 G) order. To date, the highest magnetic fields experimentally observe are on the kilotesla order.<\/p>\n The researchers at Osaka University demonstrated that microtube implosion generates megatesla order magnetic fields. By conducting particle simulations using a supercomputer, the team produced three orders of a magnitude higher than what has ever been achieved in a laboratory before. Such high magnetic fields are expected only in celestial bodies like neutron stars and black holes.<\/p>\n
