In cooperation with CERN, opens an external URL in a new window and the Atominstitut der TU Wien, opens an external URL in a new window, USTEM contributes to the development of new superconducting materials for usage within the planned future accelerator (FCC - Future Circular Collider, opens an external URL in a new window).

We investigate the microstructure and chemical composition as well as chemical bondings at matrix-precipitate interfaces and grain boundaries for optimizing the performance of superconductors.
