Sometimes science is boring. Sometimes science is fun. Usually science is a little bit of both but SOMETIMES science is MAD. That's what we are going to discuss today (strap in!)

OH motherboard you wonderful magnificent info pile you. Thank you in advance for this....

I was just scrolling through motherboard.com and I read this gem:

Researchers at the University of Tokyo were expecting to create a strong magnetic field, but they got a lot more than they were bargaining for.

So.......Naturally What did I do? CLICKED THAT ISH and I dont regret it for one second. Turns out Tokyo scientists decided to go HAM on magnetic fields and completely OBLITERATED their lab in the process. Immediately I say to myself "YESSSSSS" but made sure nobody died so it's all guilt free. Now to be upfront...this Isn't the strongest field ever generated but it is the largest in a controlled environment, which to me, is way more bad ass. What makes it even more punk rock is A. They pushed it further then intended and designed for and 2. They plan to do it again, with all they learned, and do it almost twice as strong (baller) This is a snipet:

"As detailed in a paper recently published in the Review of Scientific Instruments, the researchers produced the magnetic field to test the material properties of a new generator system. They were expecting to reach peak magnetic field intensities of around 700 Teslas, but the machine instead produced a peak of 1,200 Teslas. (For the sake of comparison, a refrigerator magnet has about 0.01 Tesla)"

You know you wanna click more......go on do it.... There's even a video :-)
