When the dish ran away with the spoon? Beats me.

Just another alloy, with interesting electrical properties.

Makes sense it would be, I think.

How could it superconduct unless it had all it’s ducks in a row?

Like yttrium barium copper oxide, (YBa2Cu3O7-x), it is an oxide containing several metal ions. Each one must be given in the name.

I should have added, yttrium barium copper oxide was the first high temperature superconductor to exhibit superconductivity above the boiling point of liquid nitrogen (T=77K, -196C). It goes superconducting at 93K (-180C).
