In the case of high-temperature superconductors, for example, the strong correlations between the electrons lead to a state of matter where electrical resistance vanishes below a certain temperature. This phenomenon, known as superconductivity, was first discovered in mercury by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes in 1911. However, the mechanism behind high-temperature superconductivity, which occurs in certain copper-oxide materials at temperatures much higher than those of traditional superconductors, is still not fully understood and is the subject of ongoing research. | In the case of high-temperature superconductors, for example, the strong correlations between the electrons lead to a state of matter where electrical resistance vanishes below a certain temperature.
