Did you know that there's a magnet in Tallahassee, Florida that's a million times stronger than Earth's magnetic field? It's at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory and it's been breaking records since 2000! It is safe to say that most people (even local residents) do not even know about the MagLab.
This magnet is no joke - it can suck objects in, generate electric currents, and even make non-magnetic stuff levitate! 🧲⚡
And get this - this video by Veritasium about it has over 11 million views!
Check out their video, "World’s Strongest Magnet," for some seriously mind-blowing facts and cool discoveries!
ICYMI: MagLab is having their very popular annual Open House, next Sat. on Feb. 24th from 10 AM - 3 PM | FREE Admission | More Info.
