The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. All the magnets you have ever interacted with, such as the tchotchkes stuck to your refrigerator door, are magnetic for the same reason.

Inside a concrete-and-steel facility in Devens, Massachusetts, a crane lowered a 20-ton high-temperature superconducting ...
