    New room temperature superconductor?
    It’s big, if true: transmitting electricity with no resistance at room temperature and moderate pressure. But controversy dogs the team making the claim.


    On September 26, 2022, Nature retracted the study described in this article after other researchers raised concerns regarding how the data were processed and analyzed. “We have now established that some key data processing steps … used a non-standard, user-defined procedure,” write the editors at Nature. “The details of the procedure were not specified in the paper and the validity of the background subtraction has subsequently been called into question.” The authors of the original paper disagree with the retraction and maintain that the raw data still support their claim of room-temperature superconductivity.
