The W and Z gauge bosons were finally discovered following the UA-1 and UA-2 experiments carried out in CERN 1983. The discoveries confirmed the Standard Model. The detectors of currently operating accelerators have registered over a hundred thousand of bosons W and several million of bosons Z.
The term 'high temperature superconductors' was applied to refer to new generation of ceramic materials developed by J. G. Bednorz and K. A. Muller in 1986. They discovered the first high temperature superconductor LBCO (Ba-La-Cu-O) working at a temperature of 35 K, slightly above the widely recognised BCS (from the names of the theory creators: J. Bardeen, L. Cooper and R. Shrieffer) superconductivity critical temperature.
