Bulk superconductivity at 38?K in a molecular system
C60-based solids are the archetypal molecular superconductors, reaching transition temperatures as high as 33?K. Now, Cs3C60 solids, having a transition temperature of 38?K, have been isolated. Both face-centred-cubic and body-centred-cubic phases were synthesized, and, uniquely among C60 solids, the superconducting phase was found to be body-centred cubic.
Barack Obama said his plan to end the Iraq war was unchanged and he was puzzled by the sharp reaction to his statement that he might "refine" his timetable for withdrawing U.S. combat troops.
AFP - The United States military wanted to test deadly nerve gases on Australian troops in a remote area of far north Queensland in the 1960s but Canberra refused, a report said Sunday.
