Repeat at least twice a week for 12 months. Watch mixture mature and become almost inseparable.
Superconductivity "Gutterballs"
01.05.1998
With electricity such a familiar part of our lives, measuring the electric current that flows through a material sounds fairly old hat. Yet Weizmann Institute scientists have made a surprising new discovery related to the behavior of electric currents in materials known as superconductors, whose resistance to the flow of electricity is exceedingly low.
Clusters, Computers and the Human Brain
