superconducting magnet [¦sü·pər·kən′dəkt·iŋ ′mag·nət]

(cryogenics)

An electromagnet whose coils are made of a type II superconductor with a high transition temperature and extremely high critical field, such as niobium tin, Nb₃Sn; it is capable of generating magnetic fields of 100,000 oersteds (8,000,000 amperes per meter) and more with no steady power dissipation.

"Big Bang Machine" to re-start in October by Asian News International Another problem is that conventional MRI equipment is expensive to purchase and operate because, for example, it uses liquid cryogens to cool the superconducting magnet.
