No references found			Later in the 1950s, physicists began noticing that some superconducting alloys behave differently: They accept magnetic fields and retain superconductivity in much higher magnetic fields than the previously known superconductors could withstand. Nobel prizes go to scientists harnessing odd phenomena: ... by Science News They wrapped copper wire containing filaments of niobium and droplets of tin into coils and then heated them to about 680 [degrees] C, melding the components to form the superconducting alloy To harden and strengthen the brittle coils, the scientists filled the voids with epoxy.
