FSU Sets 7 World Records In High Magnetics Research

Posted by timothy on from the research-and-fun dept.

spence calder writes "FSU's High Magnetic Field Lab, more specifically my Kenpo teacher, just broke 7 world records, and brought the record for a superconducting magnet to 25 Tesla. Check it out at FSView and a more detailed article here. Now if only our football team was that cool." And if you'd like your magnetic toys to shoot metal bits, Jason Rollette points to his railgun project, which looks like good, clean, high-voltage fun.

    What the hell? Colleges are supposed to be where you develop your intellect! This achievement is several orders of magnitude greater that winning some dinky college league!

    (Ok - we also develop our beerguts and identities in college, but the College itself does not sponsor that)
