may i request upscaled images of niobium and roentgenium to try and decipher their appearance a bit better

alrighty here

might change Roentgenium's design, particularly the head if i find something neat (and easier to draw xd) to replace the atom inside with, so maybe you should wait on that one

Niobium-tin magnet could be key to unlocking potential of heavy-ion accelerator

Researchers from Berkeley Lab's Accelerator Technology & Applied Physics (ATAP) Division have teamed up with colleagues from Michigan State University's Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), the world's most powerful heavy-ion accelerator, to develop a new superconducting magnet based on niobium-tin (Nb3Sn) technology. This magnet, the first of its kind, could significantly improve FRIB's performance and enhance its capabilities, opening up new applications in medicine, industry, and research. The paper is published in the journal IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity. At FRIB, beams of ionized atoms (ions) of elements spanning the periodic table, including heavy elements like uranium, are accelerated to half the speed of light. When these beams collide with a target, they break apart to create short-lived isotopes.

I haven't seen anyone doing anodized niobium or niobium as a character before what do you think they might look like.

Here's both 'cuz I thought they would be different enought worth sketching.

They're able to bend solid metal, that includes gems that are metal (per example Bismuth). They're used for training Era 2 gems who struggle with their physical strength.

Scientists in China have unearthed a never-before-seen type of ore that contains a rare earth element sought after for its superconductive properties.  The ore, dubbed niobobaotite, is made of niobium, barium, titanium, iron and chloride, the South China Morning Post reported.  It's the niobium that is causing excitement: This light-gray metal is currently used mostly in the production of steel, which it strengthens without adding significant weight. Niobium is also used in making other alloys (materials made of mixes of metals) and can be found in particle accelerators and other advanced scientific equipment because it is a superconductor at low temperatures, according to the Royal Society of Chemistry. The deposit was found in the Bayan Obo ore deposit in the city of Baotou in Inner Mongolia on Oct. 3. The brownish-black ore is the 17th new type found in the deposit and one of 150 new minerals found in the region, according to the China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC).

Niobium/Nonbinary

Nonbinary- gender does not fall strictly within 100% ‘male’ or ‘female.’

Niobium was named after a Greek queen Niobe, who boasted about her twelve/fourteen children (depending on which version of the myth) making her superior to the goddess Leto who had two. The two children in question, Apollo and Artemis, killed all of Niobe’s children in retaliation. Fun times.

Alloys: Gum Metal

A beta-titanium alloy, gum metal typically consists of just over 20% niobium, with small amounts of tantalum, zirconium, and oxygen, though compositions can also include hafnium and vanadium. These alloys are also known as TNTZ (for titanium, niobium, tantalum, and zirconium). Gum metal was first described in the early 2000s and is known for its unique elastic properties, including superelasticity. Given its status as a 'newer' alloy, applications are rare and the best processing routes for the metal are still being researched.
