The Many Frontiers of High Magnetic Field Research

Join SciSalon@BT September 17 for an evening of science and philosophy with Greg Boebinger, former MagLab Director
About this Event

The National MagLab exists to provide magnetic fields that are more than a million times stronger than the Earth’s magnetic field to thousands of visiting researchers every year. Why would anyone want to do such a thing? It turns out that magnetic fields are a remarkably flexible research tool at the frontiers of research in physics, engineering, chemistry, environmental sciences, biology, and biomedicine. This talk will survey a variety of creative uses of high magnetic fields at the National MagLab to convey the excitement of present-day research using the most powerful magnets in the world.
