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 2014, more than 1,400 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 experi-ments 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 Condensed Matter Science, Geochemistry and Microscopy.
The MagLab’s Magnet Science & Technology (MS&T) group and Applied Superconductivity Center (ASC) work to develop the most efficient and the strongest resistive, pulsed, supercon-ducting and hybrid magnets in the world.

LIFE
Scientists use our magnets to explore semiconductors, superconductors, newly-grown crystals, buckyballs and materials from the natural world — 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.

I think the Magnet Lab is a great place to do research, not only because of its unique resources, but also because you can breathe science in the air! Everything is arranged so that you keep sharing your perspectives and projects with the staff scientists, the postdocs, the students and the visiting users. The lab environment encourages the interaction between all the members, which I think is crucial for scientific productivity.

The MagLab’s REU program allowed me to experience what perform-ing scientific research at a high level was really like. Coming from a small university, I was not fortunate enough to have this option readily available. The experience inspired me to pursue a PhD and eventually led me back to Florida State University and the MagLab.
