Oral history interviews. Materials science: NSF Science and Technology Center for Superconductivity (STCS), 1996-1997.
Interviews include: Merwyn Brodsky (Argonne National Laboratory), Miles Klein (University of Illinois, Urbana), and Ken Poeppelmeier (Northwestern University).
A documentation research project to study the complex issues facing the historical documentation of multi-institutional collaborations in physics and allied sciences. Phase III focused on four disciplinary areas of ground-based astronomy, materials science, heavy-ion physics, and medical physics, and a category named computer-mediated collaborations. A materials science project, NSF Science and Technology Center for Superconductivity was a collaboration of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, and Argonne National National Laboratory to support and coordinate their research into high-temperature superconductivity. The collaboration's administrtive office was located at University of Illinois. Funded by the National Science Foundation, the collaboration was in operation from 1989-1999.
