Superconductivity may be turning scientists into visionaries, but their dreams of flying trains and of cheap power are hobbled by a problem. The new ceramic superconductors carry electricity with perfect efficiency at far higher temperatures than conventional superconductors (above -320 degrees F, vs. -418 degrees F or below), making them easier to refrigerate and cheaper to use. But to be useful, they must carry at least 100,000 amps of current per square cm of cross section and 1 million amps or more in some applications. So far, the new superconductors have carried only about 1,000 amps...
...become pregnant "by accident" and that he has no plans to marry or move in with the actress, who already has eight children of her own. "I think I'll be profoundly wise and generous, liberal, understanding," he deadpanned. "I'd be surprised if I'd be less than perfect as a father." Or less than colorful...
When the gun shot off, I was expecting a perfect race between Nehemiah, Kingdom and Gault. I was wrong...
...most loving of fathers and husbands have failed at governing. By the standards of the ideal husband, men like Thomas Jefferson and Franklin Roosevelt might have been disqualified. What's really at issue with Hart? Not whether he's the perfect husband. It's whether or not the man is telling the ; truth. Voters need to be able to trust candidates and Presidents, not take comfort in their successful marriages. In the past, candidates didn't feel so obliged to drag wives and husbands and kids onto the platform. Now it's become obligatory. And sometimes it leads to great...
Flying trains. Practical electric cars. Dime- a- dozen medical imaging machines. Normally cautious scientists are talking seriously about the prospects for these and other blue- sky inventions. Reason: a rapid- fire series of breakthroughs in substances that conduct electricity with perfect efficiency could eventually revolutionize technology. See SCIENCE...
