Abstract

The paper gives a brief description of the complicated way passed by the experimentalists of 4 countries prior to the discovery of type-II superconductivity at the Ukrainian Physico--Technical Institute in 1936. Basic results and appraisals of the discovery by the foremost experts of the world are presented. The role of the phenomenon in the present-day science and technology is indicated.
