| Description: | The mission is "To provide the highest magnetic fields and necessary services for scientific research conducted by users from a wide range of disciplines, including physics, chemistry, materials science, engineering, biology and geology." "We're called the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory because our magnets offer the highest magnetic fields for use by our international community of scientific visitors. But we could just as easily be called the National Unique Magnetic Field Laboratory, because many of our magnets and experimental techniques are highly specialized, yet broadly applicable to research in physics, materials science, chemistry, biochemistry, biology and even biomedicine. Our magnets are designed and built right here at the lab, and many are unrivalled anywhere in the world. They attract visiting scientists from across the globe — rather like common fridge magnets are drawn to a refrigerator. Our magnets also hold up the creative output of these scientists, just as those fridge magnets display the finger-painting and photos of children." |

The Magnet Lab has a wide range of teaching and visual resources. Their focus is on 4 objectives: "four objectives to implement this vision: * Develop a wide range of user facilities and services for magnet-related research at the frontiers of science that are open to all qualified scientists and engineers * Advance magnet and magnet materials technology in cooperation with industry * Promote a stimulating multidisciplinary research environment and administer a high-quality in-house research program that uses and advances the facilities * Develop an extensive educational outreach program that capitalizes on the unique resources of the lab in order to address national needs in science, research, technology and related fields." |
