Story summary

Researchers at the Institute of Plasma Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), set a record with a 35.1-tesla superconducting magnet, surpassing the previous 32.35-tesla mark.
The magnet can maintain its 35.1-tesla field for about 30 minutes and is designed for extreme low-temperature conditions.
Liu Fang cited high-temperature superconducting insert-coil technology. CAS has not confirmed International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) deployment.
