In March, a group of eleven scientists disclosed their discovery of a superconductor that operates at ambient temperature to the journal Nature. At this time, eight of those researchers have requested that Nature withdraw the article.That puts them in direct opposition to the study's principal investigator, Professor Ranga P. Dias of the Departments of Mechanical Engineering and Physics at the University of Rochester in New York. Dr. Dias has been at the centre of multiple charges of scientific misconduct in recent years, despite making a number of astounding scientific claims in that time.
