Former Russian researcher Sergey Zherlitsyn and his colleagues built a special giant magnetic coil weighing about 200 kilograms, which generates extremely powerful magnetic field.

      Such powerful magnetic field is generated for several seconds, however, that is enough for studying properties of various materials. Researchers have solved the main problem of powerful magnetic fields – they used wire made of copper alloy instead of copper wire, which breaks by a magnetic field of 25 tesla.

      The hosting lab of the coil is located in Dresden, Germany. Researchers from other institutions are welcome to perform their studies there.
