Researchers have long thought pure niobium superconducting radiofrequency cavities were best for particle accelerators. Researchers are now using a toolkit to learn how to add impurities to the ...

Using off-the-shelf industrial parts, a team of researchers from the public and private sectors has created a prototype of a small particle accelerator that could have a big impact bringing the ...

This orientation map of a nitrogen-doped sample of niobium shows the formation of niobium nitrides (rainbow-colored shards) within grains and along grain boundaries (the grain boundaries shown are the ...
