would you like a cube of neodymium in your cup of superconductor, dear?
recipe:
- put YBa2Cu3O7 disc into cup.
- add boiling liquid nitrogen.
- let stand until supercooled.
- add cubes of neodymium to taste.
...and no, this is not an april's fool.
just google for "yttrium barium copper oxide".

the video of a mouth cancer patient being irradiated - with the original sounds. i only turned up the sharpness a bit so you could see the highly energetic photons striking the camera CCD a bit better. notice how the cams microphone is disturbed by the rays, too.
for more details not only about this very radiation treatment and the isodose chart, but also about the story in general, see my flickr photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bionerd/sets/72157622824173136/")
