Superconductivity ARC Linkage Grant Success

Congratulations to Vladimir Luzin who is a partner investigator on a successful ARC Linkage grant "Nanostructure engineered low activation superconductors for fusion energy” that was recently announced by the ARC.

In the successful ARC Linkage application, researchers from University of Wollongong, ITER and ANSTO aim to develop a novel, low activation and liquid helium-free superconducting solution with superior electromagnetic, mechanical and thermal properties for use in fusion reactors.

Partnering with industry participants Hyper Tech Research, Pavezyum and magniX, the team will develop a fundamental understanding of pure and doping induced isotopic magnesium diboride superconductors and their behaviour under high neutron flux and harsh plasma atmosphere, specifically designed for application in next-generation low-cost fusion reactors.
