1. Big magnet ready to face the big questions of the universe
   11-20-2006 · EurekAlert!
   The largest superconducting magnet ever built has successfully been powered up to its operating conditions at the first attempt. Called the "Barrel Toroid" because of its shape, this magnet is a vital part of ATLAS, one of the major particle detectors being prepared to take data at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, the new particle accelerator scheduled to turn on in November 2007. ATLAS will help scientists probe the big questions of the universe.

3. Physicists set 'speed limit' for future superconducting magnet
   02-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
   The material currently used in magnetic resonance imaging machines -- a low-temperature superconducting alloy of niobium -- has been pushed almost as far as it can go, to around 21 Tesla. Now a team led Northwestern University researchers has identified a high-temperature superconductor -- called Bi-2212 -- as a material that might be suitable for the new wires needed to one day build the most powerful superconducting magnet in the world, a 30 Tesla magnet.

4. Comparative analyses of 12 fly genomes reveals new insights on genome evolution and regulation
   11-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Genome Research is publishing papers related to comparative analyses of 12 Drosophila (fly) genomes. The 12 fly genome project allows analyses of closely related species for a more complete and correct annotation of functional genes and regulatory elements in Drosophila melanogaster, a major model organism in genetics. These papers will appear online on Nov. 7, concurrent with the publication of two main papers on the comparative sequence analyses of twelve fly genomes in the journal Nature.
