... This current exerts an expansive force on the coil, and a magnetic field is "high" if it challenges the strength and current-carrying capacity of the materials that create the field. Although lower magnetic fields can be achieved using commercially available magnets, research in the highest achievable fields has been, and will continue to be, most often performed in large research centers that possess the materials and systems know-how for forefront research.

... The recent achievement of 100 T at NHMFL's Los Alamos venue represents the state of the art for high magnetic fields and has already produced new scientific results. In addition to NHMFL, other laboratories in the United States, including major laboratories supported by the Department of Energy, have made important contributions to high-magnetic field science through the design and deployment of state-of-the-art superconducting magnets for the purposes of high-energy physics and controlled nuclear fusion.

... The impact of highfield studies of biological and chemical systems is amplified by an expanding variety of techniques, including multidimensional NMR, dynamic nuclear polarization, functional magnetic resonance imaging, in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance. Applications of these and other techniques depend on increasing magnetic field strengths at the associated facilities.

... In this regard, its continued effective management, its exploration of prospective partnerships for facilities development, and a predict able facilities recompetition plan are essential. Accordingly, the report contains a recommendation that NHMFL should have a recompetition cycle that is longer than that of the average major facility.
