【摘要】

The National MagLab in the United States exists to provide magnetic fields that are more than a million times stronger than the Earth’s magnetic field to thousands of visiting researchers every year. Why would anyone want to do such a thing? It turns out that magnetic fields become a remarkably flexible research tool at the frontiers of research in quantum matter, engineering, chemistry, environmental sciences, biology, and biomedicine. This talk will survey advances in our understanding of superconductivity, petroleum, climate change, naturally-evolved bio-active chemicals, and chemotherapy...all through use of the most powerful magnets in the world.
