More than 400 scientists from through out the world will meet at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology this week for the First International Conference on High Magnetic Fields. This conference will be sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR).
Nearly 100 technical papers dealing with the generation and experimental use of very intense external continuous magnetic fields will be presented by scientist from the United States, England, France Japan, The Netherlands, Austria, Sweden, Germany, Canada, Switzerland, Poland, and possibly the U.S.S.R.
Although primary emphasis will be placed on the use of intense extend magnetic fields for the study of solid papers about the generation of high magnetic fields as well as their use of plasma (ionized gas) physics, nuclear physics, solid state physics and biology will be presented. Biological effects magnetic fields have only recently attracted much attention and this costs once will provide the first opportune for researchers in this field to meet.
