Supraconducteurs : la dernière des grandes découvertes. Les supraconducteurs sont des matériaux qui possèdent la particularité de laisser passer le courant électrique sans perte d'énergie. En 1986 Georg Bednorz et Alex Miller (Prix Nobels de la physique en 1987) ont pulvérisé le record de la température critique et découvert la supraconductivité à haute température.
