Paul Chu and MK Wu were among the first to experimentally observe this phenomenon. More than two decades after its discovery, and with PW Anderson, PG de Gennes, and others having studied it, there is still no consensus about how it operates. A particular theoretical challenge is in explaining the pseudogap, which appears in a wider range of conditions than those in which this phenomenon operates. All known materials displaying this phenomenon display a type two interaction with magnetic fields, showing vortex behavior. It is observed in several types of doped copper oxides, and was originally seen in materials containing lanthanum and barium, but better known compounds demonstrating it are YBCO and BSCCO ("bisko"). Discovered by Bednorz and Muller in 1986, FTP, name this phenomenon not explained by BCS theory, in which some materials lose all electrical resistance in liquid nitrogen.
