Chinese scientists set global benchmark with record-breaking 71.36-tesla flat-top pulsed magnetic field
The achievement is part of the ongoing development of China’s national scientific infrastructure
Chinese scientists have set a new world record by generating a 71.36-tesla flat-top pulsed magnetic field, marking a major breakthrough in high magnetic field research in advanced scientific infrastructure. This is reported by Global Times, a partner of TV BRICS.
According to the source, the new figure surpasses the team’s previous world record of 64 tesla, set in 2018, by a substantial margin.
Flat-top pulsed magnetic fields are a cutting-edge research tool that combine the benefits of steady and pulsed magnetic fields. They offer high magnetic strength with sustained stability, which is crucial for precision experiments such as magnetic resonance and advanced studies in condensed matter physics, chemistry, and materials science.
Magnetic induction, measured in tesla, is a critical unit in electromagnetism; one tesla equals 20,000 times the Earth's magnetic field. Higher magnetic induction levels dramatically expand the possibilities for experimental discovery in multiple scientific domains.
The achievement is part of the ongoing development of China’s national scientific infrastructure. As of 2025, China has hosted over 2,000 projects involving researchers from more than 141 institutions across 30 countries.

Vladimir PutinPresident of Russia"We are developing mutual trade, which is growing; it increased by over 12 per cent last year. We have a joint commission working in this sphere. Our focus is on agriculture, shipbuilding, information technology and energy, including nuclear power. We have signed a free trade agreement between the Eurasian Economic Union and Indonesia. Jakarta is our reliable and old friend within ASEAN. We are working together at all international platforms, including the UN" -

Joao Paulo CapobiancoBrazilian Minister of the Environment and Climate Change"The BRICS countries have a very high level of responsibility because they share an important part of the world's biodiversity, landscapes, populations, food production and water resources. So, we have an opportunity to lead by example. We have our development bank, which can demonstrate and develop new ways of financing programmes. We can reduce the risks for private capital to invest in restoration and efforts to combat desertification"
