Have they tried using amorphous metals with this? I remember hearing years back that amorphous metals were able to superconduct at fairly high temperatures (relatively of course). However, this was years ago, and I don't know exactly the specs on them. Still, I just thought I'd throw it out there.
lol I used to get in trouble for reading books all the time. One of the few teachers that was cool with it even let me play games in his class as long as I wasn't disrupting anything. Some of the students complained to him, to which he said "When you start getting high 90's on all of your tests, you can play games too." XP They wouldn't allow grade skipping at all in my school, and I have to say, like the article points says, I often felt out of place and didn't have any really close friends. Then, when a class I actually liked came around, like programming, I ended up getting the highest grade possible in the class. XD I even ended up going in and out of the gifted program, since it was based on grades. *sigh* Maybe one day they'll fix all of this, but right now it's completely atrocious.
