1st LD-Writethru-China Focus: China's resistive magnet sets new world record

HEFEI, Sept. 22 (Xinhua) -- Chinese scientists used an independently developed resistive magnet on Sunday to produce a steady magnetic field of 42.02 tesla, equivalent to over 800,000 times the Earth's magnetic field, breaking a world record set by the United States in this field in 2017.

The milestone achievement made by the High Magnetic Field Laboratory of the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science under the Ch
