NASEM Study on High-Magnetic-Field S&T

August 8, 2024

The National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) has issued the following report:

The Current Status and Future Direction of High-Magnetic-Field Science and Technology in the United States

High magnetic fields are a vital tool in many areas of science and technology that impact our everyday lives, from medical diagnostics through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to drug discovery research made possible by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). High magnetic fields are also an essential component to many proposed fusion energy reactors and are necessary to push the boundaries towards the development of new quantum technologies and semiconductors.

At the request of the National Science Foundation, the National Academies organized a study to identify scientific opportunities and key applications for high-magnetic-field science for the next decade and beyond. Our new report explores future prospects for high-magnetic-field technologies and ways to support the workforce, facilities, and critical materials access necessary to promote U.S. innovation.
