The MagLab is funded by the National Science Foundation and the State of Florida.
From materials, to sensors, to superconductors, MagLab research is building our quantum future.
High-quality crystals emulate properties of 2D devices assembled by hand.
Stephen Hill, Dragana Popovic, Theo Siegrist receive lifetime honor.
With funding from the National Science Foundation and State of Florida, the National MagLab is comprised of more than 500,000 square feet at Florida State University, the University of Florida and Los Alamos National Lab and hosts researchers from thousands of universities, labs and businesses from around the globe who use our world-unique high field magnets and instrumentation to answer pressing science questions.

Safety
Safety is a core value at the MagLab. The lab has a comprehensive set of programs designed to ensure the safest possible conditions for faculty, staff, users, and visitors.
The MagLab uses Integrated Safety Management (ISM) as a process to ensure safe, quality work. Training on applying this process to lab tasks is required for all staff, faculty and users, as well as for long-term visitors.
Users must complete safety training before working. While working at the MagLab, users have support from a user support scientist, technicians, and the safety department to ensure both their technical and safety needs are met.
Staff, users, or visitors can access the MagLab Safety Team 24/7 at 855-SAFEMAG or safety@magnet.fsu.edu or use the Near Miss System to report a safety concern, no matter how small. Specialized online safety training for staff and users is also available.
