Ranga Dias, a physicist known for a claimed discovery of room-temperature superconductors, has been dismissed from the University of Rochester due to research misconduct.
The investigation into Dias concluded that he had engaged in misconduct, marking the first of four investigations to confirm integrity issues in his published work.
Two papers published in Nature presented groundbreaking claims about superconductors, but both faced serious retractions that refuted earlier claims and showcased data analysis concerns.
The retraction of Dias's papers represents a significant setback for the scientific community, which had high hopes for advancements in technologies reliant on superconductor materials.
