Enhancements to the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory

The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, or "Mag Lab," develops and operates high-magnetic-field facilities for research in Physics, Biology, Bioengineering, Chemistry, Geochemistry, Biochemistry, Materials Science, and Engineering. Its $7.5 million enhancements include upgrades of its DC power supply through the replacement of transformers and rectifiers, and its magnet water-cooling system through the installation of an additional water tank for thermal energy storage.

The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory is one the only nine such facilities in the world and the only one of its kind in the United States.

The ultra-wide bore 900 MHz magnet, the world’s largest nuclear magnetic resonance magnet, is recognized as an engineering and scientific marvel.
