Super-Strong Magnetic Pulse Generator Prototype Unveiled
A novel high-tech magnetic pulse generator that shrinks the size of this kind of device from room-sized to tabletop has been developed and demonstrated by Rice University scientists. They dubbed it “RAMBO” – short for Rice Advanced Magnet with Broadband Optics – and it will allow researchers who visit the university to run spectroscopy-based experiments on materials in pulsed magnetic fields of up to 30 tesla. (A high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system is about 10 tesla in strength.)
