Wine makes superconductors better at their jobs. And apparently, it makes some scientists better at their jobs too.

no one parties like Material Scientists!

haha, one of the comments on this gave me a good chuckle ...

Wine and liquor worked better than pure water mixed with pure ethanol. Sounds like an allegory for the obesity problem in the US. The American diet is so obsessed with eating pure amounts of stuff and cutting out specific stuff, yet people are getting fatter and fatter. Maybe if we stopped replacing real sugar with fake sugar, and real fat with fake fat and start eating real whole food, our bodies might just absorb the nutrients better and we'd all be of normal weight. We'd feel more full eating less food because real food contains more than just protein, carbs and fat.

I'm off to buy a box of cheap wine to pour on my computer.

poor some on a nuclear reactor ...lets see what happens !

This is hilariously awesome. Thanks for posting it! Can't wait to show my fellow science geek friends.

That is interesting. Science can explain something, but far not everything.

I have been pouring wine on my keyboard for years now.

haha great find

booze always made me work better.

I think it was a brilliant move on their part.

Let´s try cocaine!
