You’re thinking about the University of Rochester group, which claimed room temperature high pressure superconductivity, and whose work was indeed riddled with fraud. This is a different group which claims room temperature and pressure superconductivity in a totally different material. They’re sketchy in different ways, but have not previously been down to be frauds (to my knowledge). At most, a bit cranky in their understanding of the underlying theory. Which is why several groups are keeping an open mind and trying to replicate this.
A: there is minimal theoretic backing for this form of superconductivity.
2: if this is true this is simply the largest case of utter dumb luck in the human species, like finding a convenient pill that makes you immortal, superintelligent, sexy and happy.
But if tests prove there are 0 side effects I’m still going to use the magic pill.
Half our most advanced materials science is in strained lattice, but this would still be incredible.

Nope, the Korean group
What prior data falsification are we talking about?
