So, when Miiller and Bednorz s report came out in Zeitschrift fur Physik, Japanese physicists not only saw the obscure German journal, but read it very carefully. At first, there was a touch of skepticism, but just a touch. One specialist in superconductors, Koichi Kitazawa, a member of Shoji Tanaka s team at Tokyo University, was not immediately impressed he tossed it off to a graduate student in physics who had asked for permission to repeat the IBM scientists experiment, as one account of the incident had it, and make a joke of it. By November 1986, the Japanese weren t laughing they had done the Meissner test, and the ceramic responded magnetically, confirmation that the Miiller-Bednorz discovery was no fluke. 

A few months later, at a Boston meeting on superconductivity, a somewhat different response was indicated by Shoji Tanaka, who had led the University of Tokyo team that confirmed IBM s discovery of superconductivity in the lanthanum compound. Asked to comment on recent reports that the Japanese had made great progress in firing a ceramic into a serviceable wire, Tanaka said, My work is not in that direction, adding, after a fairly long pause, but in any event that might be a secret, I think. ...
