Finnemore's recent research interest is developing magnesium
diboride into a high - performance superconducting material.
The investigation's premise is off base, Larbalestier told Science: «The whole idea that there are huge pots of money that anybody is making out of
magnesium diboride is just wrong.»
But magnesium
diboride (MgB2) beats them hands down, as physicist Jun Akimitsu of Aoyama Gakuin University in Tokyo reported at the Symposium on Transition Metal Oxides, held in Sendai, Japan, on 10 January.
The discovery that magnesium
diboride is a superconductor could mean more powerful, less costly magnets in MRI machines.
The Texan team have now made yarns containing titanium dioxide, various conductors and even «high - temperature» superconductors such as magnesium
diboride.
However, he says, «A «cousin» of NbB, magnesium
diboride (MgB2), has aroused strong interest since in the last decade.

diboride; promising solid state H2 storage material
