on to stir the embers was a theorist who worked di- rectly in the field of condensed matter physics associated with super- conductivity in materials. Philip Anderson, at Princeton, later a Nobel laureate for other work, suggested that one of the most fundamental, ubiquitous phenomena in superconductors might be
