    Whoda thunk it? Researchers at the University of Toronto have created a high-temperature superconductor using Scotch tape[^]! This could lead to new advances in quantum computing, they claim.

            My guess is because of the very large multicolored-background text. (Wasn't me, but I do find it slightly obnoxious.)
