However, producing nanoscale boron (B) particles to fabricate MgB2 is expensive. Researchers recently tackled this issue by using high-energy ultra-sonication in 2-propanol, a highly viscous solvent, to produce impurity-free, nm-sized B particles. The approach is cost-effective and enables fabrication of bulk MgB2 with high critical current density, a prerequisite for the sustainable production of high-performance superconducting magnets.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2023-05-sustainable-superconductor-technology-magnesium-diboride.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Towards a sustainable superconductor technology with magnesium diboride super magnets<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Magnesium diboride (MgB2) is a low-cost, non-toxic superconductor used in field magnets, electric motors, and generators.
