Fermilab’s long legacy of pioneering superconducting magnet technology is entering a new chapter with the launch of the MAGNet Environment Simulator. The test platform will support cutting-edge research aimed at enabling the powerful magnets needed for future fusion energy systems.
Leaders from U.S. national laboratories and industry will come together at Fermilab on October 13 to participate in a special public evening focused on the future of fusion energy.
From CNN Opinion, Dec. 14, 2022: Don Lincoln examines the result from the National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory that fusing elements released more energy than the lasers supplied. While this is a monumental step for science and a spectacular technical achievement, the process has to be repeated again and again and engineers need to construct a containment structure that can survive the bath of neutrons that a functional fusion generator will create.
CNN, February 11, 2022: Fermilab’s Don Lincoln discusses how nuclear fusion technology has developed into a commercial technology. Fusion could revolutionize how energy is generated across the globe and have significant impacts on the world’s future climate.
