Abstract

Reports that scientists from Bell Laboratories Inc. in New Jersey have created the first plastic material in which resistance to the flow of electricity vanishes below a certain temperature, making it a superconductor. Strategy used by scientists to overcome the challenge in creating a plastic superconductor; Plan to study interrelationships between semiconducting, superconducting and molecular electronics.
