About These Units
Kilotesla (kT)
A kilotesla (kT) equals 1,000 teslas. Achieved only in extreme conditions: pulsed magnets in laboratories reach 100+ T briefly, neutron star surfaces 100 MT to 100 GT. Strongest sustained lab field: ~45 T (National High Magnetic Field Lab).
Megagauss (MG)
A megagauss (MG) equals 10⁶ gauss or 100 teslas. Achieved through explosive flux compression, pulsed power systems, or Z-pinch devices. Sandia Z-machine produces ~20 MG briefly. Used in fusion research and weapons physics.
