SUP-COND -- Superconductivity in Israel.

Description:
One of the most exciting things taking place today is the rapid and impressive progress being made in superconductivity. A mailing list on Bitnet of people interested in Superconductivity has been established in Israel so that both local and international information on this field (local achievements, abstracts on work from overseas, lectures, workshop, calls for proposals, etc..) can be disseminated efficiently and rapidly. You are welcome to send any newsworthy item to SUP-COND@TAUNIVM and it will be forwarded to this mailing list. In addition, if you will be giving a lecture, organizing a workshop or hosting a notable scientist in the field of superconductivity, PLEASE SEND A SHORT ANNOUNCEMENT!
