We recently visited the National Magnet Laboratory, a facility that specializes in producing intense magnetic fields and studying the behavior of matter in these fields. NML, which is supported by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, is on the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and holds the world’s record for continuous magnetic fields—226 kG in air. Its enthusiastic staff and visitors are doing research in many branches of physics but are particularly renowned for solid‐state work.
