Recent Research from the High B/T Facility

Helium nanodroplets shed light on phase separations in other materials.

Long-time decay of the NMR amplitude arising from solid helium-three that tracks the loss of the solid component to the formation of degenerate Fermi liquids in nanodroplets.

At the MagLab, our research pertains to materials, energy and life.

Energy Research

Creating, storing and conserving energy — a product for which there is a limited supply and nearly unlimited demand — has been a topic of global conversations for decades.
