Typically confused, typical Slashdot: there’s an article on ‘news’ from Smalley’s group at Rice.
The facts about 100m long ‘wires’ (in fact maybe wound bundles) and RT superconductivity are obviously plain incorrect summarisation, but it does provide an interesting insight into the world of promotion in science.
