It's remarkable that it's so hard to create high magnetic fields. 35 T is only 35 times higher than what's in a regular loudspeaker or brushless motor. The electric field possible in a lab must be much more than 35x what's in consumer devices.

I think the key point is they did it with a superconductor. My understanding is that while superconductors have zero resistance, there's still a limit to how much power you can dump into them before superconductivity breaks down.
