Why High Fields?
This 10-minute video offers an overview of the Magnet Lab, covering everything from the lab’s early years to the commissioning of the world-record 900 MHz superconducting magnet. You will need a high-speed Internet connection and Flash Player (version 8 or higher recommended) to view this video.
Attracting Science: The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory
This half-hour video, produced by public television station WFSU for its weekly Florida Crossroads program, provides an overview of the Mag Lab's mission. Originally broadcast in January 2007, it features interviews with lab staff and visiting scientists and an inside look at instruments at the lab's three locations. This link takes you to the WFSU Web site's Florida Crossroads page.
Same Team Spot
This 30-second spot, originally aired during halftime at the 2006 Florida State University – University of Florida football game, highlights how the two gridiron rivals cooperate at the Mag Lab.

NHMFL Proposal Video
Back in 1989 when the lab's founders were pitching the idea of a new interdisciplinary magnet lab based in Florida, they called it the "Florida National Magnet Lab." My, how times – and technologies – have changed. But the lab's founders were ahead of their time when they put together this video as part of the proposal package. (Keep in mind, the video's producers probably never dreamed it would one day be streamed over the Internet).
In addition to the general interest videos listed above, videos of some of the science seminars presented at the Mag Lab are available on our Condensed Matter Resources page.
