The Center for Applied Physics and Superconducting Technologies (CAPST)

The Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and Northwestern University have established a new collaboration that enhances both institutions’ scientific research portfolios.
The Center for Applied Physics and Superconducting Technologies (CAPST) focuses on the science and applications of superconductivity, with expected advances in the fields of particle
physics, solid-state physics, materials science, medicine, energy and environmental sciences.
CAPST formally recognizes a broad intersection of scientific pursuits and complementary state-of-the-art facilities.
The center lays the groundwork for the cross-utilization of technical expertise, facilities, and equipment and establishes a partnership that will foster joint scientific research, mentorship, and new opportunities for researchers, graduate students, and postdoctoral
fellows.
