Mission

EMFL

The EMFL develops and operates world class high magnetic field facilities, to use them for excellent research by in‐house and external users.

Topping Off Ceremony at the Dresden High Magnetic Field Laboratory

Ten months after the groundbreaking ceremony, there was once again reason to celebrate at the HZDR’s Dresden High Magnetic Field Laboratory (HLD). The structural work of the annex is completed; the interior work and the installation of the equipment are about to begin. To symbolically commemorate the completion of the first construction phase, a crane raised a wreath to the top of the building. After its completion in 2005, the High Magnetic Field Laboratory has been operated as a European (...)

Invitation to EuroMagnetII User Meeting

This event will represent an opportunity to meet fellow scientists and get to know better the future European Magnetic Field Laboratory organisation on the four magnetic field facilities.

3rd EuroMagNET Summer School

The school is dedicated to recent advances in Science in High Magnetic Fields. Outstanding scientists will give tutorial lectures on different areas such as semiconductor physics, low-dimensional materials and nano-scaled objects, strongly correlated electron systems, magnetism, superconductivity, molecular systems, high-magnetic-field technology, and new high-field experimental techniques. Participants will be selected among young scientists based on their motivation, curriculum vitae (...)

HFML will receive a grant of 11 million euros

The High Field Magnet Laboratory (HFML) in Nijmegen, jointly owned by Radboud University Nijmegen and the FOM Foundation and partner in the EMFL, has been selected as one of the five leading Dutch research facilities to raise the international profile of the Netherlands. The HFML will receive a grant of 11 million euros through the Dutch National Roadmap for Large-Scale Research Facilities to strengthen its leading international position. The selection of the HFML and the corresponding (...)

Nature Chemistry publication of Nijmegen scientists

For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that gravity plays a role in the formation of molecular aggregates, and that it can even be used to make them right-handed or left-handed. Many chemical and biochemical substances exist in the form of one of two structures that are the exact mirror-image of one another but which, from a biological point of view, have very different properties. However, no-one could explain exactly how these images originally formed. It now seems that a (...)

New European Record Set in Dresden

The Dresden High Magnetic Field Laboratory (HLD) at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf wants to break the world record for the highest magnetic fields. Yesterday, the scientists managed to improve their own European record from 91.4 teslas to 94.2 teslas. The brand new coil was wound in the HLD’s workshop and encased in a thinner stainless steel cylinder; it was, though, also wrapped in the reinforcement fiber Zylon®. This small alteration permitted an even higher magnetic field while (...)

The LNCMI-Toulouse realizes the longest 80-T pulse of magnetic field in the world

In 2011 we have seen considerable progress in the strength of pulsed magnetic fields. The Dresden High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Dresden-Rossendorf has established a new world record non-destructive field at 91,4 T, which was soon after broken by the NHMFL-Pulsed Field Facility at Los Alamos, reaching 97,4 T. These records represent important progress in magnet technology, and suggest that the magical limit of 100 T is now within reach. However, one should always bear in mind that these (...)

Large scale facilities priority in Dutch science policy

The Dutch Deputy Minister of Science Halbe Zijlstra prefers to spend his budget on large scale research facilities. In a speech at the Dutch Academy of Science he specifically named HFML, the super magnet at Radboud University as an example. Good news for EMFL’s ambitions. Zijlstra praised the Nijmegen University for the courage to invest in a super magnet that (amongst other things) played such an important role in unraveling the secrets of graphene and the Nobel prize to Andre Geim and (...)

One more step on the Roadmap towards a European Magnetic Field Laboratory

After the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESRFI) has added the project for the creation of a distributed european magnetic field laboratory (EMFL) to its Roadmap, the European Commission has taken the next step by launching a call for a preparatory phase proposal for the realization of the EMFL on july 30th. Le Laboratoire National des Champs Magnétiques Intenses (Grenoble & Toulouse), the High Field Magnet Laboratory (Nijmegen) and the Hochfeld Labor Dresden will (...)
