Abstract
Biomedical Potential of MgB₂
Dan Batalu
1 National University of Science and Technology POLITEHNICA of Bucharest, Romania
Almost twenty-five years after the discovery of superconductivity in MgB₂, attention has shifted toward its biomedical potential. Recent studies highlight a unique combination of properties—antimicrobial, antitumoral, biodegradable, and biocompatible—that make MgB₂ an attractive candidate for medical applications. These features open opportunities in areas such as antimicrobial coatings, implantable devices, cancer therapies, and controlled biodegradation strategies.
Importantly, MgB₂ is also viewed as eco- and health-friendly, integrating well with natural cycles and supporting sustainable approaches in medicine.
By linking a fundamental discovery in physics with emerging biomedical uses, MgB₂ illustrates how cross-disciplinary materials research can generate innovative solutions for healthcare.
