radio programmes from BBC, Free Europe, Freedom were sources of information often contrary to Soviet propaganda. Those radio stations were periodically jammed and one could get into real trouble for listening to them. I don't see how search engine is any different here. American companies and America are often seen as the same, abroad. Being puppets for commies to make a buck is what it is. Yahoo and Google care about maximizing the value for their shareholders, not world peace.
"The Purdue scientists who discovered the effect" - ??? What's next, you are going to claim that Edison have invented the light bulb?
I remember reading about this, some 20 years back in a Soviet tech publication. Russki researchers came up with an alloy of Al and Indium (check Mendeleev's Periodic Table, in case you never studied chemistry) to achieve the same effect. I'd hope that they did not filed patents ; )
