Fred, ..Re:<<created zero resistance ''without cooling and without a superconducting material.''>> Sounds like a violation of the 1st law of thermo which states 'you can't get something for nothing', roughly translated. The 2nd law states that 'not only can you not get something for nothing, you can't even break even', also roughly translated. Another perpetual motion machine?<VBG> Regards, Lee

Ah, she combined negative resistive material with positive resistive material. ROFL. A negative resistor - there actually are such things. They are called amplifiers. Unless that press release was intentionally written to sandbag, it's a joke. IBM does a lot of research into superconductors. A cheap plentiful room temperature superconductor would result in 20% less fossil fuel consumption (let alone zillions of technology breakthroughs). Better sell those oil service stocks. :)
