Ames Lab researchers contribute to two articles in Science

Several Ames Laboratory physicists are contributors on two different articles published in the January 8 issue of Science magazine. Paul Canfield, Sergei Bud'ko and Ni Ni co-authored an article by Brookhaven researchers on yet another breakthrough with iron-arsenide superconductors. And Costas Soukoulis was quoted in an article by Science editor Robert Service on the next wave of metamaterials.
