Coming Soon: Most Powerful MRI

This new super powerful MRI would increase the resolution of a current MRI by 10 times! The possibilities of learning more about the brain are endless with 10 times more resolution. One main issue in the making of this new MRI was deciding what material to use in the wiring of the coil. The team went with wire produced by Luvata over niobium-tin which is very brittle. They will have three coils, a large one and two smaller ones. This will create the necessary opposing electric fields. The electromagnet will be cooled by helium.
