Researchers 3D print high-temperature superconductors

Voxel Matters, April 29, 2025

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.

Next-gen particle accelerator magnet ramps up at record speed

From New Atlas, December 1, 2021: Neutrino research and other experiments may have new magnets to use in the future. Physicists at Fermilab have developed a superconducting magnet that can perform at high temperatures and higher field strength. Read more about the work of Vladimir Shiltsev and Alexander Zlobin.

This half-meter-long prototype of a niobium-tin superconducting undulator magnet was designed and built by a team from three U.S. Department of Energy national laboratories. The next step will be to build a meter-long version and install it at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne. Photo: Ibrahim Kesgin, Argonne National Laboratory

National laboratories’ magnet designers look to the future of light sources with new prototype

Fermilab feature

After more than 15 years of work, scientists at three DOE national laboratories have succeeded in creating and testing an advanced, more powerful superconducting magnet made of a niobium-tin compound for use in the next generation of light sources.
