Researchers at Northwestern University, with support from Fermilab have developed a groundbreaking method for 3D printing high-temperature superconductors. The research marks the first time ceramic superconductors have been 3D printed with a monocrystalline microstructure.

For more than two decades, a particle beam from Fermilab has been aimed at the NOvA experiment in Arrowhead, Minn. where researchers have been trying to understand neutrinos.

Brazil is a leading collaborator in the development of innovative technologies for the DUNE experiment. The State University of Campinas (Unicamp) is developing technologies for the liquid argon purification process and the X-Arapuca light detector.

Researchers at Fermilab and Northwestern University invented a new method aimed to explore new technologies that can revolutionize the design and manufacturing of superconducting undulators through the introduction of high-temperature superconductors and 3D printing. Fermilab’s Cristian Boffo co-authored on the paper received LDRD funding for this research.
