Researchers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory announced they have developed a flexible superconducting tape that can carry 100 times more current than similar materials. There are two key developments here, says TIME science contributor Leon Jaroff. One is flexibility. Previous materials had been brittle, and snapped easily at the extremely low temperatures necessary for superconductivity.

Aristide asked the FBI to investigate the assassination of ultranationalist Mireille Durocher Bertin. A Haitian government source today told TIME contributor Bernard Diederich that Aristide had advance warning of the killing, and offered Bertin protection.
