FSU Sets 7 World Records In High Magnetics Research

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.

    More flamebait, feel free to mod as such.

    "My Kenpo teacher just set some world records. The articles don't say much about how innovative this technology is, but post it on Slashdot because it is r34l k3wl. It's more powerful, so its n3ws f0r n3rdz. There's not much to review about methodologies, but its k3wl. It's almost as k3wl as C0ld Fu2i0n.

    Please thank my Kenpo teacher and make sure to let him know I got him this free advertising. Next week I want to take the Whacking Day snake killing course and could use a discount."

    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)
