News From the Field Magnet Lab to Build World's Strongest Magnet Designed for Neutron Scattering
April 3, 2007
| Researchers are building an $8.7 million hybrid magnet for "neutron scattering" experiments. When finished in 2011, the new magnet will produce a magnetic field between 25 and 30 tesla--more than half a million times stronger than the Earth's magnetic field. It will be the world's strongest magnet for neutron experiments. Full story |

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency that supports fundamental research and education across all fields of science and engineering, with an annual budget of $6.06 billion. NSF funds reach all 50 states through grants to over 1,900 universities and institutions. Each year, NSF receives about 45,000 competitive requests for funding, and makes over 11,500 new funding awards. NSF also awards over $400 million in professional and service contracts yearly.
