New Iron based superconductors might resist magnetic fields over 100 Tesla - the strongest continuous-field magnet has a field of 45 tesla, giving a pressure of 8100 bar, while the strongest pulsed one has 90 tesla, giving 32 kilobar.

Just a note to update the technology news... That 45-Tesla continuous magnet weighs in at 35 tons and consumes 30MW of power whilst reports of a continuous 45.5-T "Little Big Coil" magnet weighing in at 390g with a power consumption of 180 MW and incorporating a high temperature superconductor substance, should help brighten someone's days ahead...

The downside of this design is that 45-T weighs-in at 35 ton and draws 30 MW, making it impractical for all but a few facilities worldwide.
In comparison, the LBC magnet is a mere 390 g. It requires 18 MW to operate and is about the size of the core of a toilet tissue roll.
