English | German

Rüschlikon, Switzerland, 18 April 2011—Twenty-five years ago IBM (NYSE: IBM) scientists, J. Georg Bednorz and K. Alex Müller altered the landscape of physics when they observed superconductivity in an oxide material at a temperature 50 percent higher (−238 °C, −397 °F) than what was previously known. This discovery opened an entirely new chapter in the field of physics and earned them the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1987.
