kinky
superconductors Researchers working at the Advanced Light Source have discovered, in three different families of high-temperature superconductors, "kinks" in the energy spectrum of low-energy electrons the signature of coupling between electrons and phonons. Electron-phonon coupling accounts for low-temperature superconductivity in metals and alloys, but most scientists did not expect to find it in high-temperature, copper-oxide superconductors. comparative genomics at the JGI: an interview Mice, puffer fish, sea squirts: what do these creatures have to do with humans? To find out why scientists are comparing their genomes and those of many other creatures Science Beat interviewed Trevor Hawkins, director of the Joint Genome Institute; Paul Richardson, JGI's head of functional genomics; and Dan Rokhsar, JGI's head of computational genomics. challenging the standard model of physics |
