In 2015, Mumgaard huddled with a group of his fellow MIT researchers to rethink the approach to fusion power. With these materials finally becoming commercially available, we realized that we didn’t need to make additional physics breakthroughs,” says Mumgaard, who cofounded CFS in 2018 and is now the company’s CEO. “In

In June 2015, a test for the 32 tesla magnet set a new world record of 27 tesla for an all-superconducting magnet. Two inner coils of YBCO, fabricated at the MagLab will be surrounded by a commercial outsert consisting of three coils of niobium-tin and two coils of niobium-titanium. At 32 tesla, it will be ~8.5 The finished, 2.3-ton
