NEW TRANSFORMER AT LNCMI-GRENOBLE
A new transformer, financed by FEDER funds from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and the CNRS, has been installed on the CNRS campus in Grenoble. The Laboratoire National des Champs Magnétiques Intenses, one of the major research infrastructure of the CNRS, is now directly connected to the 225,000 V high voltage grid of RTE (Réseau de Transport d‘Électricité or „Electricity Transmission Network“). With a power of 60 MVA, this transformer now increases the maximum power distributed to our magnets from 24 to 30 MW. Equipped with a new generation of a fast-response voltage regulator, this transformer allows for a better management [...]
EMFL VIRTUAL TOURS
To interact with the general public the EMFL facilities often organize tours through the laboratories. Due to the Covid pandemic this has not been possible, as users were not always allowed to perform experiments on-site or had to follow strict regulations. First in order to adapt to this environment, but also to give the best visibility to our laboratories, a “360 degrees” recording of the EMFL facilities have been so that the laboratories can be visited virtually. You will find below all the virtual tours: Virtual tour LNCMI Toulouse Virtual tour - LNCMI [...]
STRENGTHENING THE LINK BETWEEN RADBOUD UNIVERSITY / NWO AND HZDR

From left to right: Sebastian Schmidt (HZDR), Manfred Helm (HZDR), Britta Redlich (RU, HFML-FELIX), Jochen Wosnitza (HZDR), Job de Kleuver (NWO-I), Iwan Hollemann (RU), Diana Stiller (HZDR). Since many years, strong links exist between HFML-FELIX at Radboud University (RU) and HLD as well as the ELBE facility at HZDR in Dresden. In Nijmegen, continuous high magnetic fields and pulsed infrared and THz light are generated, while Dresden is specialized in pulsed fields and continuous light. Both sites offer a unique combination of [...]
