HTTP:: Superconductor Research Receives 1 2 Million in Funds
--------
The US Department of Energy (DOE) has just awarded a further $1.2 million in grant money to the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) Applied Superconductivity Center (ASC), so that experts there could continue their research on one of the most promising superconductor materials ever found. The money will go towards understanding and learning how to control the new material, which could be used to create amazingly strong magnets in the new future, with a wide array of applications in many research fields, PhysOrg reports. The Very High Field Superconducting Magnet Collaboration is, actually, the main beneficiary of the grant, which totals no less than $4 million. In charge of the research are ACS chief materials scientist and Director David C. Larbalestier, and Fermilab physicist Alvin Tollestrup. The goal of the two, and their team, is to investigate the material known as bismuth strontium calcium copper oxide, or BSCCO-2212. Other members of the team include !
Eric Hellstrom, Jianyi Jiang, and Ulf Trociewitz. Superconductivity is a phenomenon that usually occurs when several types of materials are cooled to very low temperatures. Their properties change in such a manner that they allow for electrons in an electrical current to flow through them without meeting any resistance, and witho...
