IISc team provides video evidence of superconductivity at room temperature
IISc researchers have posted a video evidence of diamagnetism causing magnetic levitation at ambient temperature and pressure. In the video, the nanoparticles made of gold-silver mixture seen inside a test…
Finally, IISc team confirms breakthrough in superconductivity at room temperature
The revised article posted in arXiv on May 21 by IISc researchers led by Prof. Anshu Pandey strengthens the claim of achieving superconductivity at ambient temperature and pressure. About the…
Jamia researchers develop ultrasensitive quantum thermometer
Jamia Millia Islamia researchers have developed a highly sensitive quantum thermometer using graphene quantum dots. The thermometer can measure micro Kelvin changes in temperature, and has a quick response time…
NPL’s device produces high quality, single-layer graphene
NPL researchers have designed a low-cost, low-pressure chemical vapour deposition (LPCVD) device that allows high quality, single-layer graphene measuring 4 inches in length and 2 inches in width to be…
Retraction saga: IIT Dhanbad faculty learnt to reuse published images during their doctoral programme
Rashmi Madhuri and Prashant Sharma of IIT Dhanbad have 15 and 19 papers respectively listed on Pubpeer website. These papers have been published while they were doing their doctoral programme…
Two dozen papers by IIT Dhanbad faculty retracted so far, many more still under a cloud
Rashmi Madhuri and Prashant Sharma, Assistant Professors at IIT Dhanbad, have so far collected over 24 retractions. And many more papers with similar problem of image duplication have been listed…
Podcast: IISc superconductivity claim faces another jolt
Satishchandra Ogale at IISER Pune explains that though the gold-silver thin films synthesised by his team is different from IISc’s Au-Ag nanosized films and pellets and the microstructure is also…
