So-called conventional superconductors, of which magnesium diboride is a member, typically become superconductors below 20 kelvins. We have received many inquiries from investors and the media about the new superconducting material, magnesium diboride - so much so that we concluded it was important to broadly disclose what role we believe these new A simple, readily available material called magnesium diboride was found to conduct electricity without resistance at an unexpectedly high temperature, sparking a surge of research into the compound (159: 134 (*)). |
