Some claims about high-temperature superconductivity could not be reproduced

Physics is in crisis. Over the past year, a series of research papers have claimed to have discovered evidence of high-temperature superconductors, materials that conduct electricity without loss, which could revolutionize the world's energy use. These were withdrawn after all efforts to reproduce them failed, and in some cases the original data was shown. has been tampered with. Now, physicists are sounding the alarm about a broader reproducibility crisis in their field.
