RETRACTED ARTICLE: Evidence of near-ambient superconductivity in a N-doped lutetium hydride - Nature

A nitrogen-doped lutetium hydride was synthesized under high-pressure high-temperature conditions and, following full recoverability, examination along compression pathways showed evidence of superconductivity at room temperature and near-ambient pressures.
