How Physics and Magnetism Define Tallahassee
The Magnetic Heart of the City
The single most important and unique scientific feature in Tallahassee is the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (MagLab), headquartered at Florida State University. This isn't just a university lab; it is the largest and highest-powered magnet laboratory in the world, funded by the National Science Foundation. The work done here is pure, powerful physics. Scientists at the MagLab use immense, continuous magnetic fields, some reaching an incredible 45 tesla (the strongest of their kind), to explore the fundamental properties of matter. The research is at the very core of condensed matter physics and materials science, investigating how electrons behave under extreme conditions to discover and characterise new materials, from next-generation superconductors to advanced polymers. The MagLab is a user facility, meaning thousands of physicists, chemists, and biologists from hundreds of institutions worldwide travel to Tallahassee to conduct experiments that are impossible anywhere else.
The Academic Engine: FSU and FAMU
This world-class facility is powered by a robust academic ecosystem, led by the city's two major universities.
- Florida State University (FSU): As the host institution for the MagLab, the FSU Department of Physics is a powerhouse in its own right. Its research programs are deeply integrated with the lab, with world-renowned groups in condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, and high-energy particle physics. The department also operates its particle accelerator, the John D. Fox Superconducting Accelerator Laboratory, allowing students and faculty to probe the structure of the atomic nucleus. This provides an incredibly rich environment where students can learn theoretical physics in the classroom and then walk over to a world-record-holding national lab to see it applied.
- Florida A&M University (FAMU): As a leading Historically Black College and University (HBCU), FAMU's Department of Physics plays a vital role in the city's scientific community. It provides a strong, research-focused undergraduate physics education, with specialisations in areas like medical physics and materials science. FAMU actively fosters opportunities for its students to engage in cutting-edge research through partnerships, including programs that connect them with mentors and projects at the MagLab, ensuring that the next generation of physicists is diverse and well-prepared.
