(ZOOM Meeting ID: 914 2314 2371, Passcode: 540569)

Current projects include:
- Textured-powder Bi-2212 superconducting wire for high-performance high-field magnet windings
- Conformal windings of REBCO high-temperature superconducting tape for ultra-high-field dipoles for future hadron colliders
- Cable-in-conduit dipoles for a Collider in the Sea, which could provide an affordable basis for an ultimate-energy hadron collider: 500 TeV collision energy, >5x10^35 cm-2s-1 luminosity
- Blocks-in-conduit REBCO-based 40 kA cable for a 20T @20K toroid for compact tokamaks for fusion power
1.5 T Open-MR magnet for walk-through breast cancer screening
- GHz Multi-zone MR spectrometer for cost-effective resolution of protein structure and protein binding for molecular medicine.
- Prof. McIntyre will give a cook’s tour of his lab, and introduce several of his current graduate students.
