XOS Superconducting Tape Analyzer Wins R&D 100 Award

R&D Magazine‘s extensive evaluation team determined that XOS’ Tabletop X-Ray Diffraction System was one of the 100 most technologically significant new products introduced worldwide. XOS collaborated with Superpower, Inc. and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority on this project. The system uses X-rays to continuously measure some of the critical material parameters for long lengths of superconducting tape. The ability to monitor the quality is critical for commercial introduction of superconductors for power transmission. The X-ray analysis technique can also be used for quality control in numerous other environments.
