| biography:
| Physicist, born in Neunkirchen, Germany. He studied at Münster and Zürich universities, then joined K Alexander Müller at the IBM Zürich Research Laboratory at Rüschlikon (1982). Their work was chiefly directed to finding novel superconductors which would show superconductivity at higher temperatures than the near-absolute zero level previously observed. Following the success of this project in 1986–7, they shared the 1987 Nobel Prize for Physics. |
