We follow one of physics and science history's most enigmatic phenomena, superconductivity, through 100 years, from its discovery in 1911 to the present, not as a history book in the usual sense, but through close ups of the leading characters and their role in that story, the Nobel laureates, who were still among us in the years 2001-2004 when the main round of interviews was carried out. Since then two of them already passed away. For each one of the 10 laureates, the author tells their story by direct quotation from interviews in their own words. Each chapter treats one laureate. The author first gives a brief account of the laureates' scientific background and main contribution. Then each laureate tells his own story in his own words. This book is unique in its approach to science history. 606 $aSuperconductivity$xHistory 606 $aNobel Prize winners 615 0$aSuperconductivity$xHistory. 615 0$aNobel Prize winners. 676 $a530 676 $a530.01 676 $a530.41 676 $a536.56 700 $aFossheim$b Kristian$0884224 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437976703321 996 $aSuperconductivity$94204343 997 $aUNINA
