Magnet Projects

Projects now underway include a series connected hybrid, a 32 tesla all-superconducting magnet and the mother of all MRI machines.

Design for series connected hybrid magnet

Applied Superconductivity Center

The ASC advances the science and technology of superconductivity and its applications.

Magnet Builders

World-class scientists, engineers, technicians and administrators are behind our world-record magnets.

Comparisons of critical and engineering current densities for superconductors available at long lengths.

Magnets and materials go hand in hand, and the push for ever-higher magnetic fields requires engineering excellence with both available and novel materials. The MagLab is a national resource in both arenas, home to the Magnet Science & Technology (MS&T) group and the Applied Superconductivity Center (ASC). Together, these groups work to develop the most efficient hybrid magnets and the strongest superconducting magnets in the world.

Magnet Science & Technology

The MS&T division develops the technology and expertise for cutting-edge magnet systems. This includes building advanced magnet systems for the MagLab and working with industry to develop technology to improve high-field magnet manufacturing capabilities.

Applied Superconductivity Center

The ASC advances the science and technology of superconductivity and particularly superconductivity applications by investigating low-temperature and high-temperature materials.

Latest MS&T Highlight

REBCO Fatigue testing shows promise for future magnets
23 April 2020

Tests of high-temperature superconducting REBCO tapes at 4.2 K showed resistance to cyclic loading, demonstrating that it is a promising material for designing HTS magnets of the future.
