    superconductive at unexpectedly high temperatures. Superconductivity meant the ability to conduct a current with 100 percent efficiency, with zero loss in heat.Thus, a mixture of oxides of the metals cobalt, manganese, titanium and niobium could be superconductive at temperatures as high as 122K(151 Celsius degrees below zero). That is very cold, colder than Antarctica at its coldest, but it ...

    at Wayne State University in Detroit and found to be super-diamonds indeed. The carbon-12 diamonds can conduct heat 50 percent better than ordinary diamonds can, and they can withstand 10 times the intensity of radiation. What was thought to have been the ultimate has been beaten!Unfortunately, carbon-12 diamonds are even more expensive than diamonds ordinarily are, so they probably will not ...

    much more gravitational force than that. There is "dark matter," of whose nature we know nothing, that may make up 90 percent or more of all matter in the universe. However, even allowing for that, it doesn't seem possible that the universe could have been created in its present shape by gravity alone--yet there is nothing else to work with. That is the dilemma that astronomers now face.But ...

We can imagine ...

    contained 30 percent oxygen, rather than 20 percent as it does today. This seems unlikely on its face. With 30 percent oxygen, any forest fire started by lightning would sweep a continent. Sure enough, further examination showed that the report was mistaken.One more case. The great supernova of 1987 in the Greater Magellanic Cloud produced a neutron star that spun at a rate of 2,000 times a ...

This makes it all the more frustrating that we can't detect it and don't know the nature of it.Is there anything the mass can do that might give us a hint of exactly where it is? In theory, there is.As long age as 1916, Albert Einstein, ...

That's very little but it was enough to keep the plant world growing and to keep the Earth reasonably warm.However, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been rising sreadily. By 1958 carbon dioxide made up 0.030 percent- and still going up. That increase ...
