"Experimental Evidence of Graviton-Like Particles Connecting Quantum Mechanics and Relativity"

An international team of scientists, led by researchers from Nanjing University, has provided the first experimental evidence hinting at the existence of gravitons, theoretical particles that mediate the force of gravity. By exciting electrons in a semiconductor under extreme conditions, the team observed behavior consistent with predictions about gravitons, marking a significant step towards bridging the gap between quantum mechanics and general relativity. This discovery, published in the journal Nature, opens new avenues for the search for gravitons in laboratory settings and could lead to new insights into the fundamental forces governing the universe.

Mixed Results in Replicating Superconductivity Claims

Physicists at Nanjing University have failed to replicate the superconductivity results from the University of Rochester's experiment, which claimed to have created a compound that became a superconductor at room temperature. The Chinese team produced the same material but found that it was not superconductive. The team in China is not rejecting the results obtained by the team at UoR, instead suggesting that further testing is needed to verify the results obtained by the group at UoR.

Attempts to Replicate Superconductors Yield Disappointing Results

Researchers at Nanjing University attempted to replicate a paper claiming to have created a compound that superconducts at room temperature and moderate pressures. Despite producing the same chemical, the team saw no sign of superconductivity, even at extremely low temperatures. The original research came from a lab that had an earlier paper on superconductivity retracted, and the failure to replicate will raise further questions about the original claims. The rapid publication of this report should put pressure on the original lab to cooperate and sort out any differences that might explain the lack of replication.
