EDITOR’S NOTE: The paper this report was based on has been retracted because eight of its 11 authors no longer have confidence in the data it contained. On Wednesday, a paper was released by Nature ...

The search for materials that can conduct electricity at room temperature without losing energy is one of the greatest and most consequential challenges of modern physics: loss-free power transmission ...

Nature has retracted a groundbreaking paper demonstrating superconductivity at room temperature. We’ve written about the discovery before and the debate around its legitimacy. Published in October ...

Journal Nature has retracted a paper claiming to have discovered a room temperature superconductor, a material capable of carrying electrical currents with zero resistance at relatively low pressures.

Researchers from the Texas Center for Superconductivity (TcSUH) and the department of physics at the University of Houston have broken the temperature record for superconductivity at ambient pressure ...
