Enhancing the properties of superconducting magnets

Caption

Magnesium diboride is a promising superconducting material with various applications (see fig. on the left). Finding affordable ways to produce improved versions of it is essential. Ultrasonication of magnesium diboride using boron is cheap and scalable and will produce nanometer sized grains (see fig. on the right).
