- Reading the latest Economist (11/14/92), I happened upon the
- ten experimental reports that were most referenced in the 1980's.
- Of the ten, three are physics-related, the other seven are
- biology-related. The three are:
-
- 2. Bedortz and Muller, "Possible high-Tc superconductivity
- in the Ba-La-Cu-O system", Z. Phys. B, 64:189 (1986).
- 3. Wu \etal, "Superconductivity at 93K in a new mixed-phase
- Y-Ba-Cu-O compound system at ambient pressure", PRL, 58:908
- (1987).
- 5. Maeda \etal, "A new high-Tc superconductor without a rare earth
- element" Jap J Appl Phys, 27:3209 (1988).
-
- It is interesting to speculate that without the discovery of high-Tc
- superconductivity, all of the 'Top 10' would be biology. Of course,
- judging by the inhuman publication rates of certain people in the
- medical community, at the level of several hundred publications a year
- some could be wholly self referential (humor inferred).
