However, "anytime you have a superconductor in a magnetic field... it tends to destroy the phenomenon: the zero resistance," Nelson said...
...magnetic field passes through a superconductor, the magnetic field bunches up into lines. Previously, these lines had caused a problem because they acted like "wiggly strings," said Nelson...
...plan would also eliminate various federal programs, including the space station and the supercolliding superconductor...
...fluency in Japanese and understanding ofJapanese culture helped Yu land a job next year ata superconductor company in Japan...
...colleagues first stunned the research community six years ago by showing that a compound containing the exotic element yttrium could become a superconductor at 98 degrees on the Kelvin scale favored by physicists (that's a not-so-balmy -283 degreesF). That record, broken repeatedly, is now as outdated as the 19-foot pole vault, and last month the contest heated up again. First Chu announced in the journal Nature that a mercury-based compound could superconduct at 153 degreesK (-184 degreesF), a startling 20 degrees higher than the old standard. He got that result by subjecting the material...
