Researchers at Tel-Aviv University have found plants making airborne emission of ultrasound screams when subjected to stress. They suspect that the sounds are generated by a process called cavitation. The…
In a new preprint posted in arXiv on June 5, the IISc team has provided evidence of signatures of critical current — the current at which the superconductor is no…
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…
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…
After Brian Skinner, a physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, raised a red flag after noticing nearly identical noise in two presumably independent measurements in IISc superconductivity study, IISER…
If science journalists can report results discussed at conferences, why should preprints be off-limit, especially if reported responsibly? While peer-reviewed papers published in reputable journals give journalists a degree of…
Even as many Indian scientists wish that the two-member IISc team proves the critics of superconductivity study wrong, a wily impersonator nearly succeeded in messing up. And as Skinner himself…
