New National Academy Member

MagLab Director Greg Boebinger named member of the National Academy of Sciences, considered one of the highest honors a scientist can receive.

New research demonstrates the potential of combining ordered and disordered magnetic phases, work that could impact magnetic storage and other logic devices.

Scientists use our magnets to explore semiconductors, superconductors, newly-grown crystals, buckyballs and materials from the natural world — research that reveals the secret workings of materials and empowers us to develop new technologies.

Scientists here are working to optimize petroleum refining, advance potential bio-fuels such as pine needles and algae, and fundamentally change the way we store and deliver energy by developing better batteries.

With the world’s strongest MRI magnet, scientists here study everything from living animals to individual cells, from proteins to disease-fighting molecules found in plants and animals — work that could improve treatment of AIDS, cancer, Alzheimer’s and other diseases.
