    Exploring the B-Mg System

    Chatting with DeepSeek, I was asking about superconductors that have high Tc but also malleability. Most of the high Tc materials we know of are ceramics that are very brittle. While still useful, imagine if we had the malleability of a metal and superconducting properties. This way, we could use the material much like a wire or in high impact environments.

    The B-Mg system was highlighted as a good place to start looking. With this simple binary system, the highest Tc found was 41.4.

    The only other B-Mg systems we have in our dataset is B-Mg-Ni which may not be superconducting and Al-B-Mg which has a max Tc of 28.71.

    Given this, it seems there's room for a new third element that increases Tc instead of decreasing it.
