Cites a study done by a team of physicist led by J.C. Seamus Davis of the University of California, Berkeley on the stripes theory related to superconductors that might be an effect of overlapping quantum waves of electric charge. Effect of varied voltage on a bismuth strontium calcium copper oxide crystal; Argument among researchers on the dependence of changes in stripes on voltage variations.

The article reports on the creation of the next generation of high-temperature superconducting wires that could make possible the levitation of trains by researchers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the U.S. The researchers deposit lines of non-conducting dots of barium zirconate at fixed distances along the wire as a way to disrupt current flow. The wires are made of yttrium barium copper oxide.

Comments on the technologies used by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) electric power transmission system. Operation of synchronous condensers; Significance of using the second generation yttrium boron copper oxide wire; Installation of the first eight milli volt amp reactive on a TVA substation.

Reports on research on high-temperature (Tc) superconductivity at Stanford University and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Explanation of how copper-oxide ceramics can superconduct at high temperatures; Use of the High Energy Resolution Spectrometer; Study of the stripe phase and charge- and spin-ordered states in neodymium-substituted lanthanum strontium copper oxide.
