Controversial Superconductivity Scientist Ranga Dias Removed
Physicist Ranga Dias has been terminated from the University of Rochester following a formal investigation that concluded he engaged in research misconduct related to his controversial claims of high-temperature superconductivity. Dias' papers, which initially reported breakthroughs in superconductivity at high temperatures, were retracted due to data reliability concerns. Despite Dias' denial of wrongdoing and a dismissed lawsuit claiming bias in the investigation, the university's decision was upheld by the Board of Trustees.
