Scientist behind superconductivity claims ousted
After claims of high-temp superconductivity were retracted, Ranga Dias lost his university job.

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.
