A Chinese experiment puts pressure on controversial superconductivity claim

Science Express March 14, 2023

On March 7, science community was electrified by the blockbuster science claim made by American scientist Dr. Ranga Dias that superconductivity has been achieved at room-temperature. The phenomenon of superconductivity typically requires extreme conditions to emerge, such as exceedingly low temperature or high pressure.

Therefore, achieving superconductivity at room temperature with mild pressure would be a monumental breakthrough for creating devices that don't waste energy on heat when producing a current. Potential applications could include more efficient computers; faster, frictionless maglev trains; superior X-ray technology; and even more powerful nuclear fusion reactors.

However, there is an interesting contrast between the frenzy of the investment community and the calmness of the scientific community in the face of this "major breakthrough".

Without sharing further details regarding the experiment’s conditions, and compounded by his previous misconduct, Dr. Dias’s claim invite…
