Physicist Ranga Dias and his colleagues have twice claimed to make a room-temperature superconductor. But many researchers question the evidence.

Wow, "Dias" does not sound like a very truthful person lol. Stolen PhD work, lied about data multiple times, and twice has claimed to have created a superconductor but (probably) hasn't.

Figures at the end you learn they have their own company selling super conductors.

I think their superconductors would sell even better if they partnered up with Gwyneth Paltrow. Might even get a superconducting vagina candle from that glorious synergy.
