TL;DR

Scientists at the US Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have created the strongest magnetic field ever observed on Earth by inducing off-centre collisions of heavy atomic nuclei in a particle accelerator. This breakthrough allows for the study of the electrical conductivity of quark-gluon plasma, shedding light on the fundamental building blocks of matter and the universe. The magnetic field generated during these collisions is so powerful that it surpasses even that of neutron stars, providing new insights into the inner workings of atoms and the behavior of fundamental particles like quarks and gluons.
