An SEM micrograph of MgB2, a superconductor, prepared at SIT, with different regions mapped

Caption

Scientists at SIT and University of Normandie developed bulk MgB2 with promising superconductivity. This picture shows unreacted magnesium oxide and boron in the matrix of MgB2, and the inset shows energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy curves for boron, oxygen, and magnesium.
