Multimedia Library
This library offers a small collection of MagLab photos, graphics, PowerPoints and videos to which we will add over time. These are free to download and to use with appropriate acknowledgement to the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. Use the "For the Web" option for 72 dpi jpgs suitable for computer screens, or the "For Print" option for 300 dpi, print-quality jpegs (these large files, over 1 MB each, may take a while to load depending on the speed of your connection). If you need other images or a higher quality image, please contact Public Affairs Director Amy Mast.
For photos used in print or on the Web, please credit the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. Images may not be used to endorse or to imply endorsement of any product or service.

Cryogenics: Prepping a dewar
In this video, you'll see Bob Carrier, a technical research designer, getting a big dewar (a container designed to hold compressed gas) ready for use in a laboratory. Carrier has worked for more than two decades in cryogenics, which is the study of phenomena at very low temperatures. The dewar contains nearly 500 liters of liquid helium.
MagLab User Programs
This video, intended for scientists who are interested in pursuing research in high magnetic fields, offers an overview of the lab's seven National Science Foundation-funded user programs.
Why High Fields?
This 10-minute video offers an overview of the Magnet Lab, covering everything from the lab’s early years to the commissioning of the world-record 900 MHz superconducting magnet. You will need a high-speed Internet connection and Flash Player (version 8 or higher recommended) to view this video.
Attracting Science: The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory
This half-hour video, produced by public television station WFSU for its weekly Florida Crossroads program, provides an overview of the MagLab's mission. Originally broadcast in January 2007, it features interviews with lab staff and visiting scientists and an inside look at instruments at the lab's three locations. This link takes you to the WFSU Web site's Florida Crossroads page.
Same Team Spot
This 30-second spot, originally aired during halftime at the 2006 Florida State University – University of Florida football game, highlights how the two gridiron rivals cooperate at the MagLab.

NHMFL Proposal Video
Back in 1989 when the lab's founders were pitching the idea of a new interdisciplinary magnet lab based in Florida, they called it the "Florida National Magnet Lab." My, how times – and technologies – have changed. But the lab's founders were ahead of their time when they put together this video as part of the proposal package. (Keep in mind, the video's producers probably never dreamed it would one day be streamed over the Internet).
In addition to the general interest videos listed above, videos of some of the science seminars presented at the MagLab are available on our Condensed Matter Resources page.
Audio Slideshows about the Lab
Look, listen and learn about our biggest magnet, how we build magnets, our annual Open House and more.
Science Demonstrations
These audio slideshows demonstrate concepts related to magnetism, electricity and other areas of science.
Visit our MagLab Dictionary feature to hear lab scientists define terms that are common at the MagLab, but not in most people's vocabulary (MP3 files).
The Shocking Truth about Electricity and Magnetism (34 MB)
Turns out, electricity and magnetism are related – so related that you can’t have one without the other. Learn about the interplay between electricity and magnetism, from the earliest understandings hundreds of years ago to the latest research on the continuing mysteries. This PowerPoint was presented by MagLab Director Greg Boebinger at the lab's 2008 Open House.
Magnets: From Mini to Mighty (18 MB)
There’s a lot more to magnets than you think. This talk features a rundown of magnet types, uses and strengths, explained in a way that will help make the facts stick. This PowerPoint was presented by Mark Bird, director of the lab's Magnet Science & Technology group, at the 2008 Open House.
What’s So Super about Superconductivity? (2.9 MB)
From MRI machines to high field magnets, this “frictionless electricity” is changing our world. Learn about the physics and potential applications of superconductivity. This PowerPoint was presented by David Larbalestier, director of the lab's Applied Superconductivity Center, at the 2008 Open House.
MagLab Overview Slide for Users – PowerPoint (8.1 MB) or Keynote (12.7 MB)
This slide, offered in both PowerPoint and Keynote formats, is designed for users of the MagLab's DC Field, Pulsed Field, High B/T and EMR facilities. It offers an overview of the Magnet Lab and its user capabilities.
