The '''Center for Magnetic Acceleration, Compression, and Heating (MACH)''' at the University of Michigan is dedicated to exploring the physics of magnetically compressed and heated plasmas, with goals to improve nuclear fusion technologies and contribute to the NNSA's efforts in maintaining the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile through science-based stewardship. Research focuses on plasma behavior under high magnetic fields to inform fusion device design and material behavior under extreme conditions. | The '''Center for Magnetic Acceleration, Compression, and Heating (MACH)''' at the University of Michigan is dedicated to exploring the physics of magnetically compressed and heated plasmas, with goals to improve nuclear fusion technologies and contribute to the NNSA's efforts in maintaining the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile through science-based stewardship.
