Editors' Note: three labs, one research mission
It might come as a surprise to many readers, but FSU, the University of Florida and Los Alamos National Lab jointly operate the Magnet Lab. |

Extreme Makeover: magnet edition
Engineers at the Mag Lab take a magnet that's trying to rip itself apart and cut four holes in its mid-plane. Extreme indeed! |

Draw a scientist
In a nod to our student artists, Magnet Lab scientists and technicians agreed to be photographed representing the scientists in some of our favorite drawings. |

Partners in Pulse: the Magnet Lab at Los Alamos
If you think 45 tesla is powerful, check out our pulsed magnets, which reach magnetic fields approaching 90 tesla. But, there's a catch. |

New 36-tesla wonder is the world's strongest resistive magnet
Magnet Lab engineers refine, tweak and reconfigure to reclaim their world record for resistive-magnet stength. |

Copper coating conceals nine layers of engineering intrigue
It's as slim as a piece of copy paper — just a tenth of a millimeter — but this wisp of coppery ribbon has a secret. |
|
'Old hand' learns something new during summer Undergraduate Research Program
The Magnet Lab's Research Experience for Undergraduates, or REU, program attracts many students who've never worked in a lab before — but not Stephanie Law, who was practially an old-timer when she arrived at the Mag Lab. |

Pregnancy to pacemakers: safety around high magnetic fields
First things first… touring the Magnet Lab is not dangerous, or we would not let you do it. But when should you take extra precautions? |
|
Michael Faraday: self-made magnet pioneer
An Englishman born into a blacksmithing family, Faraday had very little education as we think of it today, yet he became one of the most revered scientists in history. |

How Bitter plates measure up
Resistive magnets, made of many stacked Bitter plates, are made by teams of skilled workers here at the Magnet Lab. One of those technicians shares some mind boggling magnet stats. |
