Cern Keyring Super Conductor

The metal inside is a Niob-Titan mixture, capable of 17000(!) amperes in a nominal magnetic field of 8.3 teslas at the ATLAS detector at the LHC accelerator in CERN. If there is no magnetic field, it can hold 50000(!) amperes, given a temperature of 1.7 kelvin.



Each round "silver" conductor you can see in the image below consists of 6500(!) 6(!) micrometer(!) strands which is embedded in copper.

The metail embedded in this keyring is used for the electro-magnets for the ATLAS detector at the LHC/CERN.
