Superconductivity with a high Tc continues to present a theoretical mystery. While this phenomenon is experimentally well established, no scientist has managed to explain its mechanism. In the late 90s, a British physicist proposed a scenario based on the Coulomb energy. Today, researchers have committed to test this scenario. Their findings challenge the old conjecture, opening new avenues for the explanation of high Tc superconductivity.
