High field: Sawtooth-like inner blades on the cylindrical target induce off-axis charged flows under ultra-intense laser irradiation, driving strong loop currents and generating sub-megatesla magnetic ...

A newly discovered mechanism known as microtube implosion could make it possible to generate magnetic fields 1000 times stronger than any yet seen in the laboratory. According to the researchers who ...
