Sentences with phrase «which niobium»

One future avenue of research for Vinokur and his colleagues will be to raise the temperature at which their niobium titanium nitrite compound transitions into the superinsulating state.

Kept at minus 456 degrees Fahrenheit, a temperature at which niobium conducts electricity without losses, these cavities will power a highly energetic electron beam that will create up to 1 million X-ray flashes per second — more than any other current or planned X-ray laser.

Niobium explorer Cradle Resources has recommended shareholders accept a takeover offer from joint venture partner Tremont Investments, which values the target at $ 55 million.

The plan calls for using four pairs of «test masses» made of at least three different materials — such as beryllium, niobium and platinum - iridium — which would be kept in a vacuum and cooled to just a few kelvins, reducing temperature fluctuations that can degrade measurement accuracy.

D - Wave instead uses adiabatic quantum computing, in which an array of chilled, superconducting niobium loops — the qubits in this system — very quickly find the lowest point in what can be thought of as an energy «landscape» of hills and valleys.

One leading candidate material for such magnets is niobium tin, which can withstand higher fields but is expensive and must be cooled below 18 kelvin.

«It's light, easily made into wires and is really cheap compared with the old niobium - titanium superconductors, which needed cooling way down to 4 kelvin,» Neumann says.

The new approach uses yarns, made from nanowires of the element niobium, as the electrodes in tiny supercapacitors (which are essentially pairs of electrically conducting fibers with an insulator between).

Each one is a quartz sphere the size of a Ping - Pong ball, smooth to within a millionth of an inch and coated with the metal niobium, which is superconducting at liquid helium temperatures.

On a separate silicon chip, they grow a thin, flexible film of silicon nitride, upon which they deposit the superconductor niobium nitride in a pattern useful for photon detection.

It utilizes the same 10 x 10 lattice design used in GNF2, and employs GNF's NSF (1.0 % niobium - 1.0 % tin - 0.35 % iron) zirconium alloy channel material which GNF says significantly reduces fuel channel distortion compared to typical zircaloy based channel materials.
