...Nelson, a theorist, and Lieber, who primarily conducts experiments, worked together to discover how superconducting materials can be made to "work better in an intense magnetic field," Nelson said...
Schreiber's research will hopefully lead to designing better "gene therapy" and understanding genetic disease. Nelson and Lieber's work may help in the engineering of levitated trains and making magnetic resonance imagers (MRIs) smaller and more efficient...
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...
...Nelson explained that by "shooting ions" through the material first, it creates columnar paths through which the flux lines will move. When they move in these straight lines, less heat is dissipated...
