Superconductors are materials that can carry electrical currents with zero resistance, unlike traditional materials such as copper which lose part of the charge in the form of heat. — Photo by Daniel Falcão on Unsplash
PARIS: A study published in March claiming the discovery of a superconductor that works at room temperature – a scientific holy grail – has been retracted by the high-profile journal Nature at the request of most of its authors.
It marks Nature’s second retraction of a superconductor study produced by the team led by Ranga Dias of the University of Rochester in the United States.
