Physicists from the city’s Indian Institute of Science, Education and Research (IISER) have reported that no signs of superconductivity were displayed when thin films comprising silver-gold nanostructure were tested from room temperature to very low temperature during their latest experiment.
This comes at a time when scientists across the world have questioned the possibility of attaining superconducting properties with the nanoparticles of the same precious elements at room temperature, as claimed by a group of scientists of the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru (IISc), recently. Though the results presented by IISc researchers are still under review, widespread debates were sparked among the scientific community from all parts of the world.
