Abstract
The papers presented at the International Conference on High-Temperature Superconductors and Materials and Mechanism of Superconductivity in Interklaken, Switzerland on 29 February to 4 March, 1988 are briefly reviewed from a newsworthy standpoint. The conventional Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory developed in 1957 to help understand the microscopic behavior of current flow in almost all earlier superconducting materials is reviewed briefly. The most recent developments in superconducting materials, the thallium- and bismuth-based materials, are discussed. The transmission of new information by facsimile machines even as the conference was in progress was evidence of the rapidity with which the field of superconducting materials was changing. Organic semiconductor materials and heavy electron superconductors such as UPt/sub 3/ and UBe/sub 13/ are mentioned briefly.
