PrBa[sub 2]Cu[sub 3]O[sub 7] (Pr123) is an intrinsic superconductor with [Tc] [approx] 90 K, as predicted and as recently confirmed by several groups who have synthesized superconducting material under conditions that minimize the number of Pr[sub Ba] defects. Based on evidence that the defect responsible for the failure of ordinary Pr123 to superconduct is Pr[sub Ba], the cuprate-plane picture of high-temperature superconductivity must be revised.
