Physicists Have Struggled With Superconductivity Since It Was First Observed

Physicists have struggled with superconductivity since it was first observed in 1911. John Bardine, Leon Cooper, and John Robert Schrefer cracked the case by building on key experimental insights from the mid-1950s. BCS theory holds that vibrations moving through rows of atoms glue electrons together. It is true trickery of nature because this Cooper pair is not supposed to happen as these are all repulsive energies.
