• supraconductivité.

  vitesses des électrons s'organisent, chaque paire étant formée de deux électrons dont les vitesses sont strictement opposées ; l'ordre n'est apparent que dans l'espace des moments et pas dans l'espace réel des positions comme c'est le cas, pour les atomes, d'un cristal de glace. Les supraconducteurs peuvent transporter des courants de forte intensité sans dissipation de chaleur, d'où des applications à forte densité de courant (bobines créant des champs magnétiques intenses, cavités...

  Ignorance is a frail base for virtue! Yet, that it is the condition for which woman was organized, has been insisted upon by the writers who have most vehementlyargued in favour of the superiority of man; a superiority not in degree, but essence; though, to soften the argument, they have laboured to prove, with chivalrousgenerosity, that the sexes ought not to be compared; man was made to reason, woman to feel: and that together, flesh and spirit, they make the most perfect whole, byblending hap...
