Recent developments at the K.U. Leuven pulsed field laboratory are rev
iewed. This includes new 60 T user magnets, pulse shaping, decentraliz
ed data recording for multiple experiments, low temperature cryogenics
, vibration damping, rotatable sample holders and sensitive magnetizat
ion measurements. Experimental results (on semiconductors, superconduc
tors and organic conductors) are shown to illustrate the improvements
in the experimental techniques.
