Cantilever (IMAGE) Rice University Caption This image shows a microscopic sample of a high-temperature superconductor glued to the tip of a cantilever. To study the magnetic properties of the sample, scientists applied a magnetic field and measured the torque that was transferred from the sample to the cantilever.
