Title of the retracted article was "Room-temperature superconductivity in a carbonaceous sulfur hydride" published at " Nature. 2020 Oct;586(7829):373-377. doi: 10.1038/s41586-020-2801-z "

Mostly superconductors works at temperatures below absolute zero (–273 ˚C)

Reason of retraction is “a non-standard, user-defined procedure” for the two figures in which noise data was similar.

Corresponding author said that he itself and his team members will resubmit the paper again to the Nature with raw-data plots of the figure.

Also, it is not retracted due to falsification or manipulation of the data. Author said "paper retraction is not subject to superconductivity it is all about the methodology, procedure followed".

If this experiment goes successful it would be treat as an industrial revolution, if we look and see the benefit of the superconductivity at room temperature.

Retraction of this paper finally raised the question on the claim of other superconductivity papers. Who also pointed out the Superconductivity at room temperature.

This retracted article got 554 citations to-date.
