How did you find PF?
Through a google search!
I was preparing for my first year viva, and thought I should ask myself questions that may come up; to test my understanding. My PhD is on superconductivity, and I thought "what happens to the resistance of an object as it approaches absolute zero?". I found some really funny answers to this question here, and couldn't help but sign up!
