Magnesium diboride ceramic superconductors have garnered interest owing to their ease of fabrication, light weight, and low cost. However, a cheap and efficient technique for boron refinement is required before MgB2 superconductors can be produced widely for use. To this end, scientists have developed a novel technique to refine boron via ultrasonication. Their method provides a rapid and cost-effective means to produce MgB2 for superconductor production.
