Bernd T. Matthias (June 8, 1918 – October 27, 1980[1]) was a German-born American physicist credited with discoveries of hundreds of elements and alloys with superconducting properties.[2][3] He was said to have discovered more elements and compounds with superconducting properties than any other scientist.[4]
