Does this make sense to say that:

Superconductivity became understood since BCS's proposed their theory?

Does the sentence imply "the BCS's theory can explain superconductivity"?

Thanks.
Have a nice day.

It doesn't really make sense, it would be better to say either:

Superconductivity was understood when BCS's proposed their theory

or

Superconductivity has been understood since BCS's proposed their theory

Both sentences imply "the BCS's theory can explain superconductivity".
