A miniature superconducting magnet developed by FAMU-FSU College of Engineering professors has shattered the previous world record for magnetic field strength, reaching an unprecedented 48.7 tesla at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory—more than 3 tesla beyond the previous benchmark.

Inside millions of stomachs around the country are tiny corkscrew-shaped bacteria called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). More than 13% of Americans carry this unwelcome guest, which can cause serious health issues, including painful ulcers and stomach cancer.

FAMU-FSU College of Engineering researchers are leading a National Science Foundation-funded study examining how H. pylori navigate through the thick, gel-like mucus found in human stomachs—research that could help develop methods to block the microorganisms and prevent the diseases they cause.

Five FAMU-FSU College of Engineering professors will be honored by the Academy of Science, Engineering and Medicine of Florida (ASEMFL) for their groundbreaking contributions to engineering research and innovation.

The November 2025 induction ceremony at the ASEMFL Annual Meeting will recognize these faculty members’ achievements across materials science, power electronics, plasma engineering and advanced manufacturing. All five inductees have also earned membership in the National Academy of Inventors (NAI), underscoring their impact on transformative research.
