Physical Properties of High‐Tc Superconductors

Four years of intensive research following J. Georg Bednorz and K. Alex Muller's discovery of high‐temperature superconductors has produced about 18 000 publications. An overview of all physical properties is thus beyond the scope of this article, so I will focus on a few topics that are widely perceived to hold the key to understanding these fascinating compounds.
