MgCNi 3 is a non‐oxide perovskite which is both superconducting and ferromagnetic. Here MgC x Ni 3 is encapsulated in carbon nanoflasks via a chemical method. Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate the occluded MgCNi 3 exhibits a superconducting transition with a critical temperature of 7 K (see Figure).
