2015 At a Glance


A Range of Research Possibilities 1 Lab, 3 Sites, 7 User Facilities,

We Use Magnets To study

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 2015, 1,615 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 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

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.

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.

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

We had a great and extremely productive week while we were in Tallahassee. Our experiment went as smoothly as it could have thanks to the Millikelvin staff. They were always there to help us load our samples and prepare the probes that needed a bit of modification for our experiment. They were perfect. Furthermore, we had great interactions with other scientists there who were not even formally part of the experiment … who spoke with us about the theoretical implications and interpretations of our data. These discussions were invaluable. The trip to Tallahassee would have been worth it just to speak with them!
