Bednorz, Johannes Georg (born 1950) and Karl Alexander Muller (born 1927) were scientists at the IBM research laboratory in Zurich, Switzerland, where they discovered the phenomenon of high-temperature superconductivity. They were both awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1987. They began working together in 1982. 

High-temperature superconductor (J. Georg Bednorz and Karl Alexander Muller) Bednorz and Muller show that a ceramic compound of lanthanum, barium, copper, and oxygen becomes superconducting at 35 kelvins, a new high- temperature record.
