Users Hub

Every year some 900 scientists and engineers use our facilities. Graduate students and Nobel laureates, researchers from academia and the corporate world, they travel from across the globe for a chance to work with the unique instruments and experienced staff at our three locations. First and foremost, the Mag Lab exists for these users and the cutting-edge research they conduct here as they seek to expand the boundaries of scientific knowledge. The Users Hub is dedicated to them and their needs. It is divided into two sections: User Programs and User Services.

User Programs

The Mag Lab has seven user programs located across our three campuses. Find out more about these programs by using the links in the table below or from the navigator at left. The lab also has a number of important in-house research programs that complement the user programs through development of new techniques and equipments.
