Building the next generation of particle accelerators depends on solving surprisingly small but stubborn material-related problems. Dr Jerzy Lorkiewicz and his collaborators of the National Centre for Nuclear Research in Poland tackled one of the toughest challenges: how to make lead films stick firmly to niobium, to realise his vision of a fully superconducting electron injector. By implanting lead ions into the niobium before adding a lead layer, his team created a smoother, more durable bond that resisted peeling. This innovation brings us closer to more efficient electron injectors for powerful particle accelerators.
