The development of this laboratory, as well as the collaboration of the SNCI with the Max Planck Institute from 1972 to 2004, resulted in the production of a record-high magnetic field strength of 31.35 Teslas achieved in 1987, in which the Quantum Hall effect was discovered (Physic Nobel Prize of 1985).
