Bogdan Cvete Maglić (anglicized Maglich, August 5, 1928 – November 25, 2017) was a Serbian-American experimental nuclear physicist and the leading advocate of a purported non-radioactive aneutronic fusion energy source.
[citation needed] Maglich first rose to prominence in his field working on a team at the University of California's Lawrence Radiation Laboratory analyzing liquid hydrogen bubble chamber data from Berkeley's bevatron accelerator.
It was during this time that Maglich worked under a research grant from the United States Air Force to attempt to develop his migmatron concept into a compact power source for spacecraft with Bechtel Corp. From 1988 to 1993, he was CEO of Advanced Physics Corporation, chaired by Glenn T.
Under new management, Clear Path Technologies was able to commercialize "atometry" into various award-winning threat materials and explosives detection devices sold to state, federal and foreign government counter-terrorism agencies.
[citation needed] The son of a lawyer and elected member of the Yugoslav Royal Parliament, Maglich (at age 13) and his mother were imprisoned in a Croatian Ustaše (Nazi-affiliated) concentration camp for Serbs, but managed to escape.
