ABSTRACT The correct nature of high-T
C superconductivity is outlined: (i) the cuprates do not superconduct in their cuprate-planes, but in their BaO, SrO, or interstitial-oxygen
regions; (ii) doped Ba2YRuO6 and Sr2YRuO6, ruthenates without cuprate-planes, superconduct in their BaO or SrO layers; (iii) the rutheno-cuprates GdSr2Cu2RuO8 and Gd2−z

superconducts via its oxygen ions, as do related compounds; and (v) the organic compound κ-[BEDT-TTF]2Cu[NCS]2 superconducts along the S chains of the molecule. In YBa2Cu3O7, the superconductivity is consistent with observations by positive muon spin rotation and with analyses indicating an absence
of Cu d-band contribution to the superconductivity. Hence only, the BaO layer superconducts. The superconductivity is s-wave in character (not d-wave), once fluxon depinning has been properly accounted for. The superconducting BaO layers are p-type and adjacent to the n-type cuprate-planes. The hole-pairing is not phononic, but Coulombic. Many experiments can be explained by understanding
the characteristics of the high-T
C mechanism, which contradicts the theories with d-wave superconductivity in the cuprate-planes.
