| Recently, the Grenoble group discovered that uranium rhodium germanium is a ferromagnetic superconductor at ambient pressure. |
| A spinning superconductor acts like a very weak magnet, with the poles of the magnet precisely aligned with the axis of the spin. |
| The gyroscope spheres are coated with an ultra-thin layer of metal that becomes a superconductor. |
| The influence of magnetic substrate on the flux distribution in superconductor films may be modeled. |
| The superconductor business of SMI in Fornaci di Barga, Italy, employs some 100 persons and generated in 2002 net sales of EUR 16 million. |
| The group has realized large gains in cryogenics, gyroscope construction, and superconductor research. |
