Elimination of heat caused by electrical resistance could have a profound effect on the design and performance of computers. In their efforts to produce smaller and faster computers, designers try to cram more and more circuits into chips and ever more chips into a tiny space. But they are limited in their scaling-down endeavors by heat; even the tiny currents in computer circuits generate enough cumulative heat to damage components if they are too tightly packed. Today's personal computers could not operate without vents or internal fans to dissipate the heat. Now, with practical superconducting circuitry...
...minute cram course from a neighbor provided me with exceptional training. "There's a thing called a loop," she said. "Don't worry about how it works. You don't need to know that for the test...
...really learns anything from either section of the QRR. Most freshmen prepare for both in a 30-minute cram the night before the test. They stuff the few necessary facts into their minds, spill them onto their papers and into the computers and, after the test, promptly dispose of the excess information. The phrases "median" and "standard deviation" once again are absolutely meaningless. Along with tours of Widener and parties at Weld, they are nothing more than bad memories of freshman week...
