Stuff involving room-temp superconductors would be about the last thing I'd ever want to fabricate.

  Right. I’ve been thinking for awhile that Mr. Dias must have some sort of underlying mental issue to (apparently) repeatedly falsify research in an area that’s sure to attract loads of attention. Imho he will surely lose his faculty appointment by the time this is over, and won’t have a prayer at getting another.

  Schön got away with it for years. One of my favorite video essays is a long exploration of that case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfDoml-Db64 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfDoml-Db64

    Well, most of that was about plastic semiconductors, not superconductors, but it is an impressive story of how someone can get away with a blatent fake for so long.

    Thank you for recommending this! I just finished it and this is one of the best video essays I’ve ever seen. Do you have any more recommendations? Or suggestions of channels to check out?

      It's rather politically charged, but my favorite thing to recommend on YouTube in general is Innuendo Studios, particularly the "Alt-Right playbook" series. It's actually more widely relevant than the title might suggest too, since a lot of the tactics are more universal in politics now, no matter the party or persuasion. Of those, "Endnote 2: White Fascism" I consider the most important.
