Exploring the unseen world of materials

National research institute HFML-FELIX

At our unique research facility we merge high magnetic fields with intense laser light to explore the fundamental properties of matter, enabling scientists from all over the world to conduct pioneering research that isn’t possible elsewhere.

HFML-FELIX is part of a large national consortium, consisting of the Radboud Universiteit, NWO-I, the Technische Universiteit Delft, Universiteit Maastricht, Universiteit Twente, Universiteit van Amsterdam, Universiteit Leiden and the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen.

Next HFML-FELIX User Meeting to be held in July

We are very excited to announce that the biennial HFML-FELIX User Meeting will be taking place July 8-10 of this year. Find out more on how to register and what is on the program here.

Researchers at HFML-FELIX and their collaborators at the University of Waterloo in Canada have built and demonstrated a novel machine learning model that is able to predict infrared spectra of ions much faster and with better accuracy than traditional models.

Researcher Arwin Kool exposes interesting materials to all kinds of extreme conditions to see - simply put - when they break. This helps him understand how their promising properties work and can be controlled.
