Superconducting steel
Superconducting steel is a theoretical concept in materials science, referring to the idea of a steel alloy that would behave as a superconductor. The term has appeared primarily in discussions of designs of hypothetical devices involving nuclear fusion,[1] or processes with even higher densities of power.
New York Times article[edit]
In reporting the results of geological surveys in Afghanistan in June 2010 in its online edition, the Times described niobium, whose actual major economic uses include structural steel, non-ferrous alloys, and non-ferrous superconducting magnets, as "a soft metal used in producing superconducting steel",[2] and was widely quoted, often including the phrase "superconducting steel".[3]
Two Times readers publicly contested this information, respectively labeling it as "wildly wrong"[4] and saying "There is no such thing as 'superconducting steel.' "[5] As of October 2010[update], no correction to the article has been appended by the Times.
