It's probably intended to keep material strictly chronological but the section names discourage this as the tendency is to add some new material to the section whose title it seems to relate to. (as I now realise I did earlier)
Should we add dates to the section names to encourage new material to be added chronologically ? Rod57 ( talk) 02:48, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
What does Tesla's 1900 patent have to do with superconductivity? He's not mentioned in the main article. Długosz ( talk) 22:32, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
Tesla originally discovered that metals when cooled lower their resistance. Had someone suggested trying Hg he *may* have been the first person to discover this using Linde's machine. Also he is known to have been very skilled with unusual materials and it is possible evidence of this discovery was lost in the fire around 1895 in New York. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.3.100.29 ( talk) 06:51, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
The start of the article made some questionable claims about participation in the discovery of superconductivity by Zygmunt Florenty Wroblewski and Karol Olszewski . The nature of the claims sounded dubious, reminiscent of Soviet-era propaganda claims of priority on any number of discoveries, so I tried to find anything authoritative on the subject. Came up empty. Tracked down the addition a series of changes by a Tesla fan in May 2015, and removed the sentence and phrase in question. If anyone can find a legitimate citation, we'll undo my removal. Tarl N. ( discuss) 00:57, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Please help me with... I posted a figure "The number of patent families (in red) and non-patent publications (in blue) about superconductivity by year. Also shown as black vertical lines are the main breakthroughs in the field." here: /info/en/?search=History_of_superconductivity . It looks OK, but it is not in the right place. I would like to split the Intro section into 2 columns: right with the current text: "Superconductivity is the phenomenon of certain materials exhibiting zero electrical resistance and the expulsion of magnetic fields below a characteristic temperature. The history of superconductivity began with Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes's discovery of superconductivity in mercury in 1911. Since then, many other superconducting materials have been discovered and the theory of superconductivity has been developed. These subjects remain active areas of study in the field of condensed matter physics.
The study of superconductivity has a fascinating history, with several breakthroughs having dramatically accelerated publication and patenting activity in this field, as shown in the figure on the right and described in details below. Noteworthy, the number of non-patent publications about superconductors is much larger than the number of patent families, which is characteristic of a commercially unsuccessful technology."

parameter to it. I tried that in preview but the result didn't look very good to me so I didn't do that, but feel free to give it a shot. I moved the figure to the top of the page for now which I think looks okay. ■ ∃
