<Georg Bednorz> and <K. Alex Müller> investigated oxide compositions that displayed a striking <electrical resistivity> decrease on cooling. Their 1986 report described oxygen-deficient barium-lanthanum-copper compounds, with a superconducting-like onset in the 30 <kelvin> range. Because the samples contained several phases, a connected conducting path could dominate <electrical resistance> before the whole specimen behaved uniformly. The work connected materials chemistry and electrical measurements in the emergence of high-temperature <superconductivity>.<Possible high Tc superconductivity in the Ba-La-Cu-O system by Johannes Georg Bednorz and Karl Alexander Müller>[Zeitschrift für Physik B 64, 189–193 (1986), abstract and multiphase interpretation]{ref}
