Nuclear fusion has recently become a possible source of commercial green energy. This session will explain the fundamentals of nuclear fusion (what it is, how we can do it on earth, and basic reactor design) before discussing the impact of very large magnetic fields on the materials used to build the reactors, namely superconductors and steels. Chaired by: Cindi Dennis, NIST and Ron Goldfarb, NIST

Communication is an essential part of science AND if you do it well then audiences will love you, BUT it's not easy because it requires that you use narrative structure, THEREFORE we will spend this workshop using the ABT (And, But, Therefore) Framework to learn narrative structure and communicate with clarity.
In this 3-part workshop, instructor Matthew David will 1) teach you the ABT Framework, 2) lead you through iterative, hands-on exercises that apply to your own work, and 3) start you on your journey of developing “narrative intuition.” One class will be on zoom on October 26 before the conference, one on November 4 in person at the conference, and the final one will be on November 16 on zoom after the conference. $15 fee. Pre-registration is required.

A public meeting of the IEEE Intersociety Technology Roadmap on Magnetics for Power Electronics (ITRMP) will be held during MMM 2026 in Honolulu, Hawaii. Both on-site and online participation will be available. Registration for MMM 2026 is not required for those attending only the roadmap meeting. The roadmap will provide an application-oriented review and forecast of magnetics for power electronics. Jointly developed by the IEEE Magnetics Society and IEEE Power Electronics Society, the roadmap will cover magnetic materials, inductors and transformers, operating conditions, circuit and system implementation, industry trends, and relevant international standards. Registration required by October 12. Click “Show More” for registration link.

This special session will challenge young professionals (Ph.D. students, post-docs, junior faculty/industrial/government scientists) to present their research in just 2 minutes! Winners will be selected by a panel of judges and awarded cash prizes.
If you would like to submit an abstract for consideration, you must be a current Ph.D. student or within 15 years of your BS/BA degree. Sign up by September 1 to participate as a presenter at this event when you register for the Conference and you will receive abstract submission instructions separately.
