My View

Duncan McBranch: Partnerships expand the Lab’s reach

Mike Graham

As a capabilities-based Laboratory we must sustain a strong base of science, technology, and engineering expertise to respond to emerging national security challenges. This issue of Currents highlights the importance of partnerships in keeping Los Alamos at the leading edge.

The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, featured in the cover story, is a unique user facility, funded by the National Science Foundation, where we have applied our expertise in high magnetic field science and pulsed-power engineering. We also have honed this expertise through some very fine staff and a decades-long partnership with Florida State University and the University of Florida. Like our other user facilities, the NHMFL draws the best scientists and students in this field to Los Alamos, enriching our international scientific connections.

Partnerships also are central in extending from invention (creating a new idea) to innovation (creating a technology impact in the wider world). Our MBA intern program, now in its 12th year, is a unique effort to provide opportunities for MBA students to train with Los Alamos scientific and business experts to analyze science inventions for their technology innovation potential.
