Gauss is 1 of 2 units used to measure magnetic field strength; the other and current preferred (SI) unit is the Tesla (10,000 Gauss = 1 Tesla). Gradient magnetic fields A magnetic field that ...

That would make these flashes of magnetism 10,000 times stronger than the most powerful magnetar, and 10 quadrillion times ...

in fact still recording surface strengths of more than 10,000 gauss. Without DURA-SLIK™, magnetic separators are more likely to experience rapid deterioration, an increase in magnet strength ...
