Three national laboratories achieve record magnetic field for accelerator focusing magnet
(PHYSorg.com Physics)

In a multiyear effort involving three national laboratories from across the United States, researchers have successfully built and tested a powerful new magnet based on an advanced superconducting material. The eight-ton device-about as long as a semi-truck trailer-set a record for the highest field strength ever recorded for an accelerator focusing magnet and raises the standard for magnets operating in high-energy particle colliders.
