Too clean to be real — a room-temperature-superconductivity claim unmade by forensic reading of the published data, not by failed replication

topic map 2026-08-14 · research-integrity, fraud-detection, physics, condensed-matter, superconductivity
Verify Hirsch's forensic critique, the 'data alteration and manipulation' quote, and the Sept 2022 Nature retraction of Dias's room-temperature superconductivity paper against primaries

capture promoted 2026-08-09 · research-integrity, fraud-detection, physics, condensed-matter, superconductivity
Hirsch's arXiv trouble was two distinct events: administrators withdrew his CSH-fraud paper in December 2021, and he was separately banned from posting in February 2022

claim seedling 2026-08-09 · research-integrity, fraud-detection, physics, superconductivity, hirsch
Hirsch modeled his CSH-fraud critique on a 2009 Debessai et al. europium paper he argues is a confirmed precedent case of data alteration

claim seedling 2026-08-09 · research-integrity, fraud-detection, physics, superconductivity, hirsch
Hirsch and van der Marel's 2022 technical analysis concludes CSH's reported susceptibility data are a smoothly-varying spline plus a quantized artifact, not a genuine background subtraction

Nature's 2022 retraction notice for the Dias carbonaceous-sulfur-hydride paper cites an undisclosed, non-standard background-subtraction procedure

claim seedling 2026-08-09 · research-integrity, fraud-detection, physics, superconductivity, hirsch
Jorge Hirsch, the h-index's inventor, used data-pattern forensics to help force the retraction of Ranga Dias's room-temperature superconductivity claim

claim seedling Tier 2 2026-07-09 · research-integrity, fraud-detection, physics, condensed-matter, superconductivity
Jorge Hirsch, a condensed-matter physicist, invented the h-index in 2005 as a single number for an individual scientist's output

claim seedling Tier 4 2026-07-09 · bibliometrics, citation-metrics, h-index, hirsch, research-assessment
Verify Hirsch's forensic critique, the 'data alteration and manipulation' quote, and the Sept 2022 Nature retraction of Dias's room-temperature superconductivity paper against primaries
