Building the U.S. supply of superconducting power technology
American SuperMagnetics is developing a domestic second generation high temperature superconductor manufacturing pathway and the power systems it can enable. Our first priorities are repeatable conductor production and pilot scale validation for demanding electrical applications.

Why the work matters
AI data centers, utilities, and defense platforms need equipment that handles high current, rapid changes in load, and constrained space. High temperature superconductors can offer compelling performance in these settings, but a useful system also depends on reliable manufacturing, cryogenic operation, electrical protection, and qualification. ASM is working across that complete path.
Domestic Manufacturing
Develop and validate repeatable 2G HTS tape production, then design a route from process proof to continuous manufacturing.
Three Connected Workstreams
Compact Power Distribution
Advance superconducting conductor and sPipe concepts for sites where conventional distribution becomes difficult to route, cool, or expand.
Fast Response Storage
Develop superconducting magnetic energy storage concepts for short duration power stabilization and other high power applications.
Current Stage
ASM is in a development and partner formation stage. The near-term program centers on conductor process proof, manufacturing design, and a defined power distribution pilot for 800 VDC interfaces. Performance, cost, and operating assumptions will be tested against agreed criteria before broader deployment claims are made. We are seeking technical, manufacturing, pilot site, and strategic partners who can help define requirements and validate a commercial path.
