About this opportunity
The Compact Modular Furnace from Los Alamos National Laboratory gives researchers a practical way to perform extreme-temperature testing of molten salts and metals in a glovebox-compatible, tightly controlled environment. By combining a small footprint, interchangeable components, optical access, and the ability to isolate heat directly at the sample, it enables safer and more flexible experiments that would normally require much larger, more expensive equipment. The furnace design supports rapid setup for a range of materials studies, including contact angle measurement, compatibility testing, and thermal cycling, while helping teams work with highly reactive substances without exposing them to air or moisture. The result is a versatile platform that expands what can be studied, shortens ...
