Jeff, The reports cited in the presentation are of hi-temp superconductivity (I believe), rather than just non-monotonic resistivity vs. temp phenomena.
It may be worth looking at the recently reported hi-temp superconductivity seen in fractal materials - e.g., "High-temperature superconductivity: The benefit of fractal dirt" http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v466/n7308/full/466825a.html "Fractals make better superconductors" http://www.nanotech-now.com/news.cgi?story_id=39593 "Fractals promise higher-temperature Superconductors" http://www.stealthskater.com/Documents/Fractals_04.pdf "X-rays control disorder in superconductor" http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/2011/aug/31/x-rays-control-disorder-in-superconductor "Fractals boost superconductivity" http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/2010/aug/13/fractals-boost-superconductivity -- Lou Pagnucco Jeff Berkowitz wrote: > To answer my own question: yes, here > http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/CelaniFcunimnallo.pdf on page 3, in item (3) > of the numbered list. > > Of course, it could be some unrelated effect; but decreasing electrical > resistance with increasing temperature is very odd, and it certainly is an > interesting coincidence. > > Jeff > > On Tue, Sep 11, 2012 at 10:06 PM, Jeff Berkowitz <pdx...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Lasers not necessary?
