AT A GLANCE2016

The only facility of its kind in the United States, the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (National MagLab) is the largest and highest-powered magnet laboratory in the world.

Located at Florida State University, the University of Florida and Los Alamos National Laboratory, the National MagLab expands the boundaries of scientific knowledge and advances basic sci-ence, engineering and technology in the 21st century.

In 2016, 1,778 researchers from academia and the corporate world conducted cutting-edge research using our unique, world-record instruments. The MagLab exists for these users to explore promising new materials, research pressing global energy prob-lems and expand our understanding of the biochemistry that underlies living things by performing experiments in our seven user facilities:

The lab also has a number of important in-house research groups that complement the user facilities through development of new techniques, theories and equipment, including Materials &Condensed Matter Science, Geochemistry and Cryogenics.

The MagLab’s Magnet Science & Technology (MS&T) group and Applied Superconductivity Center (ASC) work to develop the most efficient and strongest resistive, pulsed, superconducting and hybrid magnets in the world.

WE USE MAGNETS TO STUDY

MATERIALS

ENERGY

LIFE

Scientists use our magnets to explore semiconductors, superconductors, crystals, and atomically thin materials — research that reveals the secret work-ings of materials and empowers us to develop new technologies.

Scientists use magnets to study energy and the environment. They work to opti-mize petroleum refining, advance poten-tial biofuels such as pine needles and algae, and fundamentally change the way we store and deliver energy by developing better batteries.

Scientists study the foundational science of protein and disease molecules that underlies the cells and creates life itself. This work could improve future treatment of AIDS, cancer, Alzheimer’s and other diseases.

The MagLab’s interdisciplinary research environment brings scientists from a variety of disciplines to explore materials, energy and life. I would like to thank

the whole MagLab team for their great support and effort to help our projects. Other laboratories have big magnets, too, but it is this high level of effort and expertise of the staff members that makes a huge difference in the outcome.
