Fusion researchers have long known that powerful magnets are the key to turning star-like reactions into a practical power source, and the latest generation of “super magnets” is starting to look less ...

Researchers at a U.S. government nuclear fusion laboratory say they have found a way to downsize the huge magnets that are necessary for controlling fusion plasma in what they think is another step ...

Magnesium diboride (MgB 2) is a low-cost, non-toxic superconductor used in field magnets, electric motors, and generators. However, producing nanoscale boron (B) particles to fabricate MgB 2 is ...

In addition to their use in super magnets, they are employed in the manufacture of catalysts for the oil & gas industry, optical fibers, computer screens, cell phones, military jets, missiles, and ...

Magnesium diboride (MgB 2), a binary compound, behaves as a superconductor – a substance that offers no resistance to electric current flowing through it – at a moderate temperature of around 39 K ...

Scientists at SIT in Japan produced high-performance MgB2 by ultrasonicating boron (B) in 2-propanol for varying durations. The inset displays high magnification FE-SEM images of B particles obtained ...
