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 ...

Researchers 3D print high-temperature superconductors. The Fermilab-funded technique is currently awaiting US patent approval ...

superconducting disc of yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO), while also exposing the disc to an external magnetic field. To detect whether magnetic steps had been generated, they placed a crystal of ...

The magnets are strong. Handle with care. The superconducting material is probably an yttrium barium copper oxide, or YBCO. For long term storage, keep the superconductor in a dessicator. Moisture ...

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 ...

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 ...
