This has radically improved what can be done with high-voltage transmission lines, MRIs, and energy storage. With these materials finally becoming commercially available, we realized that we didn’t need to make additional physics breakthroughs,” says Mumgaard, who cofounded CFS in 2018 and is now the company’s CEO.
