Medical MRIs, high-power microwave generators, superconducting magnetic energy storage units, and solenoids in nuclear fusion reactors all rely on superconducting materials to carry and store large electric currents without wasting large amounts of energy. Assistant Professor of Physics Riccardo Comin seeks to improve these materials.
