About the Facility
The SAGE facility at the University of Nevada in Reno is an ~180,000 sq. ft facility dedicated to advancing our scientific understanding of extreme environments, and the technologies we use to reach and diagnose such conditions. We have a two-million volt and one million ampere pulsed power generator with a 100 nanosecond rise time, used to explore plasma phenomena and generate bright sources of radiation as diagnostic tools. We have also just installed multiple hypervelocity launchers, or cannons, used to create steady shock waves and accurately determine the equation of state and strength of materials, improving our understanding of planet formation, impact crater formation, and planetary defense.
