What ?
Magnesium's not magnetic, right ?
Actually magnesium when placed near magnet
does become paramagnetic.
Then... how can magnesium become a super conducting magnet ?
You add boron2. ( diboride ) double bond.
= Superconducting Magnet.

Magnesium diboride (MgB
2) is a low-cost, non-toxic superconductor used in field magnets, electric motors, and generators. However, producing nanoscale boron (B) particles to fabricate MgB
2 is expensive. Researchers recently tackled this issue by using high-energy ultra-sonication in 2-propanol, a highly viscous solvent, to produce impurity-free, nm-sized B particles. The approach is cost-effective and enables fabrication of bulk MgB
2 with high critical current density, a prerequisite for the sustainable production of high-performance superconducting magnets.

Magnesium diboride's superconducting properties were discovered in 2001.
[1] Its
critical temperature (
Tc) of 39 K (−234 °C; −389 °F) is the
highest amongst conventional superconductors. Among conventional (
phonon-mediated) superconductors, it is unusual. Its electronic structure is such that there exist two types of
electrons at the
Fermi level with widely differing behaviours, one of them (
sigma-bonding) being much more strongly superconducting than the other (
pi-bonding).

accommodating super magnets, super conductors.
Cheaper, more powerful.
