The Many Frontiers of High Magnetic Field Research

Magnetic fields represent a remarkably flexible research tool that has opened up new frontiers of research in physics, engineering, chemistry, geochemistry, environmental sciences, biology, and biomedicine. The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (the National MagLab) in the United States exists to provide uniquely powerful magnetic fields to thousands of researchers annually, provided free of charge to investigators from around the world who submit the most meritorious research proposals. This talk will survey a variety of the creative uses of high magnetic fields at the National MagLab, spanning the research disciplines listed above, to convey the excitement of present-day research using the most powerful magnets in the world.
