Schmidt recalls: "Some were carrying their hoops high over their heads, others were rolling them. Suddenly, someone dropped a hoop over me. Everyone laughed...

...phenomenon of superconductivity, or the unimpeded flow of electricity through metals cooled to temperatures approaching absolute zero (-459.6° F.), was given a new twist by Physicist Bernd Matthias of the Bell Telephone Laboratories. A magnetic field dissipates superconductivity. So for half a century, theorists have assumed that magnetic metals could not be used. But Matthias found that some magnetic metals serve unusually well as superconductors. In fact, by combining magnetic metals with others, he can make alloys that become superconducting at the relatively high temperature of -426° F. It is even possible, Physicist Matthias adds, to make superconducting...
