Most visitors to Tallahassee, Florida probably don’t realize they’re standing only miles from the largest, highest-powered magnet laboratory in the world. The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, housed near the Florida State University campus and funded by the National Science Foundation since 1990, brings together more than 900 scientists and engineers every year. The work provides insights into physics, biology, bioengineering, chemistry, geochemistry, and materials science and engineering. From the homepage, click About and then Overview for insight into the center’s history and current experiments. Next, have a look at the Education portal, which features mounds of resources, from Interactive Tutorials to links to the MagLab’s very own YouTube Channel.
