SMARAGDI is a collaboration of three research group at TAU and five Finnish companies aiming to develop new technologies for future superconducting applications.


Re-establishing the cryolaboratory is a part of SMARAGDI Co-Innovationproject which is funded by Business Finland. Suomen naisten maajoukkuepelaaja Iina Salmi siirtyy PK-35:sta Amsterdamin Ajaxiin yksivuotisella sopimuksella. This enables for example very high magnetic fields and lossless energy transfer. In this state, superconductors can transport DC current without any heat dissipation. Superconducting state is observed in certain materials, if magnetic field, current density, and temperature, stay below the material dependent critical values. The term collaborative robots, however, encompasses multiple levels of collaboration ranging from coexistence to joint object manipulation. The laboratory will be equipped especially for studying high temperature superconductors (HTS), and their application to magnets and to other novel superconducting devices functioning at low temperatures (below -150 oC). N2 - The manufacturing industry has high expectations for the benefits of collaborative robots. The Cryolaboratory is located at Hervanta Campus, in the Sähkötalo building. We are resuming experimental research in the field of superconductivity at TAU by restarting and upgrading our cryogenic test facility.
