Crow Director of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Professor of Physics at Florida State University Magnets and magnetism are a central aspect of many of today's technologies: motors and generators, medical diagnostic tools, and data storage. In the future, magnets may be the guideways for high-speed trains. Quantum wells are highly conductive "electron gas" regions at the interface between two semiconductors. Research on quantum wells in a magnetic field has produced new states of matter, resulting in two Nobel prizes. Magnets can be used to float biological materials, such as a frog, in weightless state on earth.

Join Dr. Crow as he presents the history of magnetism with a focus on its applications to science and technology.
