John Desmond Bernal Quotes

Graphene is a single plane of graphite that has to be pulled out of bulk graphite to show its amazing properties.

Gold--what can it not do, and undo?

Hyt is not al golde that glareth.

All, as they say, that glitters is not gold.

The transitions from metallic to critical behavior and from critical to insulating behavior have been induced with a magnetic field, and from insulating to critical and then to metallic behavior with increasing external pressure.

I would say there are three important things about graphene. It's two-dimensional, which is the best possible number for studying fundamental physics. The second thing is the quality of graphene, which stems from its extremely strong carbon-carbon bonds. And finally, the system is also metallic.

Each material has its specific characteristics which we must understand if we want to use it. This is no less true of steel and concrete.

Superconductivity helped broaden my professional phase space. When I started my work, it was already known that magnetic fields could quench superconductivity. I found that the transition was not continuous, that superconductivity was initially enhanced in the presence of magnetic fields, then it would suddenly fall off.

All is not gold that glitters.

In the process of making nanomaterials, we learned that with the electronic density of states, the phonon electronic properties and everything change at the nano-level. So the thermoelectric properties would also be changed.

Electrons are the carriers for electricity, but they are also carriers for thermal energy. This means thermal conductivity is increased when the carrier density is increased.

My mom wears a lot of gold.

I have a love for anything gold.

Everything that shines ain't always gonna be gold

The genuine music lover may accept the carnal husk of opera to get at the kernel of actual music within, but that is no sign that he approves the carnal husk or enjoys gnawing through it.

The authorities in the United States confiscated private gold holdings in the Depression of the 1930's. They may seek to do so again in the Depression of the 1990's.

Though with those streams he no resemblance hold, Whose foam is amber and their gravel gold; His genuine and less guilty wealth t' explore, Search not his bottom, but survey his shore.

All that glitters is not gold.

Troubles, they may come and go, but good times, they're the gold.

It doesn't have to glitter to be gold.

It is the nature of stone to be satisfied. It is the nature of water to want to be somewhere else.

To gold and silver nature hath given no use that we may not well lack.

What treasures here do Mammon's sons behold! Yet know that all that which glitters is not gold.
