Z-pinch program receives IndustryWeek award
The IndustryWeek magazine announced in the December 15
issue that the Z-pinch program at Sandia National Laboratories is
receiving an award as one of 25 Technologies of the Year for 1997.
Sandia is also receiving an award for development of a proton-based
nonvolatile semiconductor memory device that costs less and requires
less power than other computer memory devices. The winners will be
honored during IndustryWeek?s third annual "Managing for
Innovation Conference" in Chicago on March 30-31, 1998. The z-pinch
award is specifically for the development and use of the Z
accelerator for fusion and materials research. The award
announcement states that the results of the z-pinch research "may
have a profound impact on everything from nuclear weapons to
microlithography to astronomy to perhaps achieving the dream of
tapping fusion reactions for a limitless source of energy."
