Caitlin Duffy, Nigel Hussey, and Sven Badoux, HFML-FELIX Nijmegen. A team of researchers from HFML-FELIX has developed an experimental set-up capable of generating stable, intense current pulses in conjunction with high magnetic fields for studying the electronic ground state of various unconventional superconductors, whose upper critical fields are beyond the [...]

As of 1 July 2025, I have assumed the directorship of the French National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (LNCMI), a cornerstone of high-magnetic-field research in Europe and part of the EMFL. LNCMI stands at the cutting edge of scientific instrumentation, engineering innovation, [...]
Welcome to ISABEL “Nordic-Baltic” Regional Meeting taking place in Estonian, bringing together researchers, students, and professionals in the field of magnetism and materials science across Europe. Organised by Estonian Magnetism Laboratory ( EstMagLab ) and National Institute of Chemical Physics and Biophysics (NICPB/KBFI) together with the ISABEL EU Project of [...]
© Andy Nelson. Exploring, understanding, and describing materials with strong electronic Coulomb correlations remain among the big challenges of modern condensed-matter physics. Well-known examples of such systems are transition-metal oxides, metals containing lanthanide or actinide atoms, and organic conductors. At low temperatures, these materials exhibit novel phenomena such as metal-to-insulator [...]
Energy Pool is a leading company in Europe for demand-side energy-flexibility aggregation, as well as a key-player in the European energy-flexibility market. As such, the company is one of the industrial partners in the Horizon Europe-funded “Flexibility in Research Infrastructures for global CArbon Neutrality” (FlexRICAN) project. Three major research [...]
Starting January 2021, the EU-funded design study SuperEMFL finished successfully at the end of last year. According to the initial objectives, the SuperEMFL project has generated specific know-how, models, the design of 32+ and 40+ T all-superconducting user magnets (TRL 7), and a possible scenario for implementing such equipment within [...]
HFML-FELIX, known worldwide as a unique research facility, will continue within a large national partnership consisting of Radboud University, Dutch Research Council (NWO), and six other Dutch universities. This means, structural funding is assured for HFML-FELIX for the next 10 years. The consortium will work towards a shared and strong [...]
Stanislaw Galeski, HLD and HFML-FELIX. The ability to transport heat is one of the most fundamental properties of matter, crucial for engineering applications. In most materials, at room temperature transport is well understood. Things, however, are not as straightforward under extreme conditions such as temperatures close to absolute zero or [...]
Zhuo Yang and Yoshimitsu Kohama, ISSP at University of Tokyo, Japan, Duncan K. Maude, LNCMI-Toulouse, Christophe Marcenat, CEA, IRIG, and PHELIQS, Grenoble. In the mixed-valence compound YbB12, thermal-conductivity measurements at low temperatures reveal highly mobile excitations that carry heat like in a metal but do not conduct electricity. The Wiedemann-Franz [...]
Florian Le Mardelé and Milan Orlita, LNCMI-Grenoble. Alloying stands out as a pivotal technological method employed across various compounds, be they metallic, magnetic, or semiconducting, serving to fine-tune their properties to meet specific requirements. Ternary semiconductors represent a prominent example of such alloys. They allow fine-tuning of electronic bands – [...]
