Sample:
"It doesn't purr, but a tiny superconducting ring is the closest thing yet
to Erwin Schroedinger's famous dead-and-alive cat. At late March's meeting
of the American Physical Society in Minneapolis, physicists announced that,
under the right conditions, such rings can carry current in opposite
directions at the same time--a property never before observed in an object
so big."
