Researchers at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida, have pushed a palm-sized superconducting coil to 42 tesla, placing a device small enough to hold in one hand within ...

Researchers at ETH Zürich have built the most powerful miniature superconducting magnets ever demonstrated, ...

When we think of powerful magnets used in particle accelerators or for NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), we often envision bulky machines, sometimes the size of buildings. But in an extraordinary ...

High-temperature superconductor magnets have the potential to lower the costs of operating particle accelerators and enable powerful new technologies like fusion reactors. But quenches -- the sudden, ...

An opportunity to get a closer look at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory returns this weekend after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The one-day open house features nearly 100 ...

Tallahassee’s National High Magnetic Field Laboratory Director Kathleen Amm — who has been serving as the facility’s new director for about three months so far — is living in a full-circle moment. Her ...
