Scientists in Japan report finding a new superconducting material. It's a readily available compound that's been around since the 1950s, but no one thought to check if it was superconducting at low temperatures until now. In this hour, we'll talk about what the new superconductor might mean for technology such as magnetic resonance imaging. Plus, President Bush is expected to decide soon on whether federal funds can be used for research on stem cells taken from human embryos. We'll hear about promising new research in the field and talk about some of the ethical considerations of this work. Scientists in Japan report finding a new superconducting material.

The Wall Street Journal has conducted multiple rounds of layoffs this year. In a lawsuit, former reporter Stephanie Armour says the paper tried to shed employees with significant health-care costs by citing “trumped up performance issues.”

Last week's report by former FBI Director Louis Freeh confirmed what many said all along, that the Penn State child sex scandal was the biggest and most damaging in college sports history. Now that the report has been released, the focus is turning to the NCAA and what action it will take, if any.

The New York Times reports that President Trump ordered the firing of special counsel Robert Mueller in June, but the top White House lawyer threatened to quit rather than carry out the firing.

Tesla — the electric car company beloved by environmentalists and the auto press — has hit a rough patch. A rave review from Consumer Reports has been reversed, and now Tesla's Model S is no longer recommended by the magazine. A self-driving feature introduced recently has also led to some hair raising moments behind the wheel documented online.

Writer Paul Auster explores his own intellectual and moral maturation in his new book Report from the Interior. It's his fifth book about his own life, but Auster says it's not himself he's interested in.
