Physicist Ranga Dias and his colleagues have twice claimed to make a room-temperature superconductor. But many researchers question the evidence.

    Wow, “Dias” does not sound like a very truthful person lol. Stolen PhD work, lied about data multiple times, and twice has claimed to have created a superconductor but (probably) hasn’t.

    Figures at the end you learn they have their own company selling super conductors.

      I think their superconductors would sell even better if they partnered up with Gwyneth Paltrow. Might even get a superconducting vagina candle from that glorious synergy.

    I don’t understand why even bother lying about scientific results, especially spectacular ones. The core of science is verification and falsification, so any spectacular announcement will be met with attempts to replicate it, and this will soon expose any sloppy work (or, in the worst case, lies).
