SEARCH AND DISCOVERY

Select this Article		Supersymmetric QCD Sheds Light on Quark Confinement and the Topology of 4‐Manifolds Graham P. Collins


		OpenURL
	+ -	Show Topic A new analytic computational technique has been developed in a wide class of supersymmetric Yang‐Mills models. In physics the technique provides some of the first general exact results in four‐dimensional quantum field theory, including a quantitative description of confinement via magnetic monopole condensation. In mathematics the topological study of smooth four‐dimensional manifolds has been revolutionized.

Select this Article		Applications of High‐Temperature Superconductors Approach the Marketplace Gloria B. Lubkin


		OpenURL
	+ -	Show Topic Eight years after transition temperatures first exceeded that of liquid nitrogen, high‐T_c superconductors are being used in magnetometer sensors, prototype filters for cellular‐phone base stations and magnetic resonance applications. Further progress in thin‐film technology and electronics could lead to applications for high‐T_c materials such as nondestructive testing, medical and geophysical sensors, communications, and multichip modules.
