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…
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…
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…
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…
MIT physicist raises a red flag on IISc superconductivity claim
Less than three weeks after Prof. Anshu Pandey and Dev Kumar Thapa from the Solid State and Structural Chemistry Unit at Indian Institute of Science (IISc) claimed to have achieved…
IISc researchers observe superconductivity at ambient temperature, pressure
IISc researchers have for the first time been able to achieve superconductivity at ambient temperature and pressure. The resistance observed is very low (10-4 ohms) but not zero. Though they didn’t observe…
