## Bio

Georg Bednorz was born in Germany on 16 May 1950. Working alongside K. Alex Müller, he discovered that certain ceramics could superconduct at temperatures far higher than anyone thought possible - a find that upended decades of theory and earned them both the 1987 Nobel Prize in Physics. The breakthrough moved superconductivity out of the deep-freeze realm of helium and into reach of cheaper, more practical cooling. It remains one of the fastest Nobel recognitions in modern science.
