The results were never reproduced, and many scientists doubted them. Nature retracts controversial superconductivity paper by embattled physicist After the first paper was published, Dias’s star ...

Scientists at the University of California, Irvine have uncovered the atomic-scale mechanics that enhance superconductivity in an iron-based material, a finding published recently in Nature.

Dias' lab was focused on high-pressure superconductivity ... although it did not make that report public. However, Nature News talked to Dias' grad students and learned he told them that the ...
