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.[ref]
