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

September 29, 2025 Editorial Staff Comments Off on 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). […]

Researchers Design Cryogenic Storage & Delivery System for H2 Aircraft 

July 8, 2025 Editorial Staff Comments Off on Researchers Design Cryogenic Storage & Delivery System for H2 Aircraft 

Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering have designed a cryogenic liquid hydrogen storage and delivery system that could help make zero-emission aviation a reality. Their work outlines a scalable, integrated system that addresses several engineering challenges at once by enabling hydrogen to be used as a clean fuel and also as a built-in cooling medium for critical power systems aboard electric-powered aircraft. The research was conducted at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory which is headquartered at FSU in Tallahasee.
