Spin-triplet exciton condensation has been predicted in perovskite cobaltites in high magnetic fields. Here, the authors report the magnetic phase diagram of LaCoO3 from magnetostriction measurements in ultrahigh magnetic fields and reveal new high-field phases with signatures of the exciton condensate.
