Tabletop Technique for Generating Megatesla Magnetic Fields
Originally Published 6 months ago — by Phys.org

Researchers at The University of Osaka have developed a novel laser-driven method called bladed microtube implosion (BMI) to generate ultra-high magnetic fields approaching one megatesla, using microstructured targets to induce strong loop currents without external seed fields, opening new avenues in laboratory astrophysics and high-field physics.
