"New Superconducting Magnet Breaks Records with a Lower Carbon Footprint," December 2, 2009, CleanTechnica

 ____________________

Florida State University [1] has just announced that it is chipping in $1 million toward the cost of a $3 million magnet to be constructed at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory [2].  The new high tech magnet is expected to generate a field about 45% more powerful than the strongest superconducting magnet currently available, or roughly 3,000 times stronger than an ordinary refrigerator magnet. [Read more [3]]
