...dramatic development, Bednorz and Muller revived a slow-moving area of modern physics and turned it into a white-hot field of research. Superconductivity is the phenomenon in which a conducting material loses its normal resistance to the passage of electricity; since virtually no energy is lost, any electric device becomes far more efficient when built with superconductors. The catch is that superconductivity usually occurs only near 0 K (Kelvin), or -460 degrees F, which means the materials must be cooled by expensive, hard-to-handle liquid helium, thus sharply limiting practical applications...
...worldwide. Data indicate that the decline over the past eight years is 4% to 5%. Scientists estimate that natural destruction of the ozone could account for 2% of that figure. The Antarctic hole could explain an additional 1%. The remaining 1% to 2% could simply be the result of normal fluctuations. As Albritton's research team reported, "A depletion of this magnitude would be very difficult to identify against the background of poorly understood natural variation...
About 28% of the National Football League's long-standing customers showed up to sample the first bogus games -- as many as 38,494 in Denver, as few as 4,074 in Philadelphia -- while the television audience started out curiously strong (just three or four rating points off the normal 14) but dwindled as the afternoon bore on and the novelty wore out.
