摘要
Ten years ago physicists discovered that some ceramic materials can transmit electricity without resistance at fairly high temperatures. Conventional theories of superconductivity fail to explain this effect. Now researchers are closing in on answers. Recent experiments exploiting subtle quantum effects yield important clues about why some ceramics conduct electricity without resistance. This paper discusses the developments in this field.
