Making Magnets: At Los Alamos National Laboratory’s MagLab, Magnets are Designed and Built for Research in High Magnetic Fields

The magnets at the MagLab—the Los Alamos National Laboratory branch of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory—are some of the strongest in the world, capable of reaching 100 tesla. (For comparison, a refrigerator magnet is about 0.005 tesla, and the Earth’s magnetic field is about 0.00005 tesla). […]
