Brookhaven Lab's Superconducting Magnet Division has a unique superconducting magnet (left) and a research and development facility (right) for testing high-temperature superconducting cables and coils in a background magnetic field of up to 10 Tesla. The facility is equipped with hardware to detect and protect against quenches, where materials suddenly lose their ability to "super"-conduct electricity without any resistance and revert to their normal resistive state.
