IISc team submits more evidence of superconductivity
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 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…
IISc superconductivity claim gets another jolt, IISER Pune finds no superconductivity in Au/Ag films
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…
Should science journalists stay away from preprints?
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…
IISc superconductivity saga: Impersonator almost succeeds in messing up
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…
