receive 90 % of our information. It is through the
use of telescopes aiding the naked eye that we are
aware of the heavenly bodies around us. It is
through light that the energy from the sun is
transferred to us. The sun's energy supports the
food chain; plants use it to turn water and CO 2
into energy ...

than all the other elements combined. In 1961 the
isotope carbon- 12 was selected to replace oxygen
as the standard relative to which the atomic
weights of all the other elements are measured;

Weve all heard Untitled INTRODUCTION Weve all
heard about superconductivity. But, do we all know
what it is? How it works and what are its uses? To
start talking about superconductivity, we must try
to understand the how " normal"
conductivity works. This will make it much easier
to understand how the " super" part
functions. In the following paragraphs, I will
explain how superconductivity works, some of the
current problems and some examples of its uses.
