University of Rochester is not to be confused with Rochester Institute of Technology which is not to be confused with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

Seems like this guy made up a bunch of high temperature superconductivity experiment results. I recall the reports of the mystery substance around 2020, and I remember thinking that, based on the chemistry/physics, it seemed at least plausible.

("reservations" being ambivalent and unconvinced reviewers arguing for rejection)
