High-temperature superconducting magnets made from REBCO, an acronym for rare-earth barium copper oxide, make it possible to create an intense magnetic field that can confine the extremely hot ...

The superconductor in question here is a mix of yttrium, barium, and copper oxide that goes by the merciful acronym YBCO. The easy way to make YBCO involves multiple rounds of pulverizing yttrium ...

With their recent demonstration of a 20 Tesla (T) high-temperature superconducting (HTS) rare-earth barium copper oxide (ReBCO) magnet field coil, they made a big leap towards their demonstration ...

MIT research confirms neutron irradiation does not impact REBCO critical current, reducing risks in fusion plant designs and advancing energy initiatives.

Type II superconductors are more complex materials, typically alloys or compounds, such as niobium-tin (Nb3Sn) and yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO). They have two critical magnetic fields: a lower ...

Twenty years ago this spring, they discovered that a crystalline compound of lanthanum, barium, copper and oxygen becomes ... would be enhanced in related oxide materials with strong Jahn ...
