Lots of stuff today:
It's a CONSPIRACY by all those LITHIUM-HATERS! The MAN keeping a good element down. Wha-BAM!
NASA has some
competition, from the private sector. Finally.
Magnetism and Superconductivity are interconnected both in a positive and a negative way, and
this relationship is being investigated using supercooled STM - the implications could be revolutionary.
And finally, for the astronomy enthusiasts, a
giant cloud of water has been detected surrounding a protoplanetary disk about the star TW Hydrae - although it is described as "nearby" at 176 light years it is not exactly in our backyard. However, it could be an exceptional laboratory for investigating the origins of our own, water rich solar system.
