2016 AT A GLANCE
A Range of Research Possibilities 1 LAB, 3 SITES, 7 USER FACILITIES, 3 IN-HOUSE RESEARCH GROUPS & MAGNET DEVELOPMENT 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 science, 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, worldrecord instruments. The MagLab exists for these users to explore promising new materials, research pressing global energy problems and expand our understanding of the biochemistry that underlies living things by performing experiments in our seven user facilities: Advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy (AMRIS) DC Field Electron Magnetic Resonance
High B/T Ion Cyclotron Resonance Nuclear Magnetic Resonance & Magnetic Resonance Imaging/Spectroscopy Pulsed Field
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
Scientists use our magnets to explore semiconductors, superconductors, crystals, and atomically thin materials — research that reveals the secret workings of materials and empowers us to develop new technologies.
Graphene Correlated Electrons Topological Matter Kondo/Heavy Fermion Systems Magnetism and Magnetic Materials
Quantum Fluids and Solids Qubits & Quantum Entanglement Semiconductors Superconductivity Molecular Conductors
ENERGY
Scientists use magnets to study energy and the environment. They work to optimize petroleum refining, advance potential biofuels such as pine needles and algae, and fundamentally change the way we store and deliver energy by developing better batteries.
Petroleomics Catalysis Dissolved Organic Matter Lithium Battery Imaging Biofuels
Superconductivity Applied Research Fuel Cell Membranes Geochemistry Environmental Analysis
LIFE
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.

“
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.
