“At the quantum level, the forces of magnetism and superconductivity exist in an uneasy relationship. Superconducting materials repel a magnetic field, so to create a superconducting current, the magnetic forces must be strong enough to overcome the natural repulsion and penetrate the body of the superconductor. But there’s a limit: Apply too much magnetic force, [...]

For over 50 years scientists have been working hard to develop a super laser.  This x-ray laser is to be cost-efficient and a reasonable size, and would provide super-high resolution imaging.  All of these feats if accomplished could lead to major breakthroughs in the areas of medicine, biology and nanotechnology.  ”Our goal is to create [...]
