• The demand for the exhaustible natural resource helium is increasing rapidly, with 20% of global production used as the cryogen in superconducting MRI magnets. High-temperature superconducting (HTS) materials show great potential for realizing helium-less magnets. Here, we report a cryogen-free 3T-MRI scanner for human brain research using Bi-2223 tapes operating at a temperature of 20K.
