Why is this material not used for MRI's?
- woeirua 6y agoThis material only appeared in the last 10 years as a practical way of creating strong magnetic fields. Give it enough time and you'll see most MRIs transition away from the large hulking behemoth machines that we have today into much smaller and more portable machines. Also, as an added benefit you can use liquid nitrogen to cool them instead of helium.
