| Description: | Autobiography hosted by the official Nobel Prize website. Bednorz won half of the Nobel Prize for physics in 1987 for his work on superconductivity. Excerpt: " I completed my work on the crystal growth of perovskite-type solid solutions and investigating them with respect to structural, dielectric and ferroelectric properties, and joined IBM in 1982. This was the end of a ten-year approach which had begun in 1972. The intense collaboration with Alex started in 1983 with the search for a high-TC superconducting oxide; in my view, a long and thorny but ultimately successful path. We both realized the importance of our discovery in 1986, but were surprised by the dramatic development and changes in both the field of science and in our personal lives." |
