Making YBCO superconductor
Applied Science
Ben Krasnow of Applied Science shows how to make and test YBCO high-temperature superconductor with a kiln and eBay chemicals. He demonstrates flux pinning and shows a close-up of the crystal structure.
HN points to it in superconductor and LK-99 threads as evidence that YBCO can be made in a modest home lab.
