Author:

Don’t miss this great, one-minute video by the Ames Lab featuring three superconductivity limericks physicist Paul Canfield wrote for the journal Physica C.’

Here is one to start you off:

About elements and simplicity you’d care.
Now most material’s classes,
Include oxides and spin classes,
Go SUPER without any fanfare.”
