EMFL SPRING SCHOOL 2024
Following a two-year interval, we revived the tradition of EMFL Schools to motivate and inspire the next generation of high-magnetic-field researchers in Europe. This event took place in the Penck Hotel, a modern-art venue nestled in the historic neighborhood of Dresden, Germany, from April 15-19, 2024. The 2024 program focused on both fundamental and applied aspects of materials research. Renowned speakers covered a wide range of topics including low-dimensional semiconductors, topological matter, strongly correlated electron systems, magnetism, superconductivity, and high-magnetic-field technology. Additionally, the school‘s agenda featured a variety of interactive elements: a pitch session, during which each participant had [...]
COOPERATION BETWEEN EMFL AND JAPANESE HIGH-MAGNETIC-FIELD LABS
Since many years, various fruitful collaborations and interactions exist between the Japanese high-magnetic-field community and EMFL. In an effort to consolidate formally these common interests, the High Magnetic Field Collaboratory and EMFL signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The High Magnetic Field Collaboratory is a collaborative research organization consisting of the International MegaGauss Science Laboratory at the Institute for Solid State Physics (ISSP), University of Tokyo, the Center for Advanced High Magnetic Field Science, Graduate School of Science, Osaka University, and the High Field Laboratory for Superconducting Materials, Institute for Materials Research, Tohoku University. With the MoU, the partners [...]
EMFL DAYS 2024 IN PRAGUE
Every two years, the staff members from all four EMFL sites meet somewhere outside their facilities to exchange ideas, discuss best practices of administrative procedures, and strengthen the common EMFL spirit. This time, the sixth meeting of the EMFL Days took place in Prague from 16 to 18 September 2024. Altogether, 110 EMFL staff members gathered in the capital city of the Czech Republic in a hotel near the center. Although the flooding in some parts of the country did prevent some people from participating, most EMFL staff arrived safely. For many participants, it was the first visit to [...]
